The finest display of California minerals in the world welcomes visitors into the Hall. This section was made possible through the generous support of the California Federation of Mineralogical Societies. Among the highlights are superb specimens from the southern California pegmatites including topaz, tourmaline, kunzite, morganite and quartz.
