The entrance to the Museum

Some of the displays available for viewing.


The entrance to the Museum Reich der Kristalle is immediately
behind this display. Note the 2004 Munich Show poster on the wall.

  This specimen from Nagyag had very large crystals of Nagyagite to 3 cm across.


  This is another large cabinet specimen from Kuruman, South Africa
with numerous crystals of bright lemon yellow ettringite to 2 cm across.

  This is a fine specimen of clinomimetite with crystals to 1.5 cm in length.

  I apologize for the photo quality of this specimen.  This specimen
 from Ilfeld has huge crystals of manganite to 5 cm in length.

  This cabinet specimen of fluorite from Asturias, Spain caught my eye with
the dodecahedral face modifications colored violet on otherwise blue fluorite.

  These two miniature sized specimenis had fine crystals of octahedral fluorite.  The
 one on the left is covered with calcite crystals. Both come from the Harz Mountains.

  These two specimens are both from Elba Island - tourmaline, quartz
and apatite on the left and tourmaline and quartz on the right.

  This is a very interesting display dedicated to Schwarzwald.  FIne specimens of fluorite and barite
 are on display here as well as other rarities such as scorodite and clinoclase to name just a few.


  This specimen has dark greenish blue crystals of apatite with violet fluorite.

  Two very fine specimens of clinoclse from Grube Clara.

Last but not least is a fine specimen of benitoite and neptunite from the
Benitoite Mine in California. The top benitoite crystal is 2 cm across.
