I'm sure some of our CA Rthlings have been here, just saying if you are passing through you have to see it.
Rough pricing is decent, we got a couple pieces of pink moonstone and a promising Polychrome Jasper piece. Inside, the museum is amazing.
I'll shut up now and let the photos do the talking.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Glad there are places like that still left. What is the pink rock in the third from last photo? I notice it has hexagonal patterns in it.

It is a table cut from rose quartz. They had others.

That’s close to where I grew up. I think we visited that place when I was in 5th grade. So cool that it’s still there.
