The museum may be small, but it is jam packed with tons of amazing minerals, rocks, gemstones, and more. Llyn, who is a scientist in charge of the collections, was so friendly and helpful with my daughter (and the rest of us!), and shared many wonderful minerals with us. There are over 13,000 items here, so if youre into minerals and crystals you can spend hours here. If youre not into minerals, then there are fossils, dinosaur bones, and other items of interest. But the real draw is the mineral collection. Its beautiful and impressive!

Not a destination for a special trip. If you are local to the area of a student at Virginia Tech then this might be a nifty little place to check out, but dont make any special arrangements to get here. Tucked into a student building on the second floor. One room for exploring.
