Join us for our annual Mineral Sale with selections for novice to seasoned collectors, with proceeds benefiting the Desert Museum!

Thanks to several new Rockin’ Mineral donations, we have a new selection of rare minerals (including some Sweet Home Mine minerals), jewelry items, fossils, wire wrapping, and beautiful polished sculptures. Enjoy hands-on geology activities for kids and families, including a free starter mineral collection for kids. And of course, you’ll get to see our new fluorescent exhibit and visit with our animals as well.
