Great displays, meteorites, Maine minerals, well documented worth the stop
Maine Mineral and Gem Museum的点评
点评:100 of Maine’s many mineral species are on display in an interactive, alphabetically organized exhibit.
Great display of meteorites and space minerals, with good explanations. Some are older than Earth itself, some originate from the Moon and Mars, others contain amino acids—the building blocks of life—and then there are those that contain extraterrestrial gems.
Ten freestanding mirrored glass pylons showcase Maine’s finest gems—including amethyst, aquamarine and tourmaline. Digital labels featuring enlarged photographs of the gems display important information about each specimen including the gem’s origin, miner, lapidary artist, and provenance. In addition, custom jewelry masterworks will be displayed, each meticulously designed and crafted with Maine gems by esteemed artists from around the country. Beautiful.
Very interesting. Worth the stop.

陨石和太空矿物的精彩展示,并附有详尽的解释。有些比地球本身还要古老,有些来自月球和火星,有些含有氨基酸——生命的基石——还有一些含有外星宝石。
十个独立的镜面玻璃塔架展示了缅因州最好的宝石——包括紫水晶、海蓝宝石和碧玺。带有放大宝石照片的数字标签显示了每个样本的重要信息,包括宝石的产地、矿工、宝石艺术家和出处。此外,还将展出定制珠宝杰作,每件作品均由来自全国各地的知名艺术家用缅因州宝石精心设计和制作。美丽。
非常有趣。值得一看。
