This Museum is my favorite place to go when visiting New York City. There is just so much to see and learn.

[@aydingharehbaghian7923]

[@CrazeCreativesHQ]

Now I see why Hank Schrader loved collecting them . They're not rocks at all. They are magnificent

[@JB-ms9yn]

That Giant amethyst looks like from an Alien world

[@gulis1]

Uruguay is a bit of an alien world.

[@Greco4915]

I stopped by the Hall of Gems and Minerals in NYC and OMG it was gorgeous! Seeing the massive Amethyst geode as you walk in, I was shocked at the size of it. I had also known about the Singing Stone from an article in National Geographic but seeing it was something else.

[@damangonator]

I love this exhibit it has always been my favorite

[@johnnynephrite6147]

this place just went on my bucket list.

[@dumoulin11]

I would LOVE to go there.

[@theecoadventurer]

Of all the art exhibitions i've ever visited over the world, a room full of minerals that was displayed in the Melbourne museum was by far the coolest thing I ever saw.

[@1234j]

Singing minerals?! Wonderful. Thank you for this.

[@sandraard4306]

Can you make videos about your prehistoric collection?

[@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory]

Hello! Is there a specific area you're interested in? How about a tour of our Saurischian dinosaur hall (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHPNo3h6nqiFgKM)? Are you a trilobite fan? We've got a playlist for that (kzbin.info/aero/PLrfcruGtplwH3QjcvwmgcioC4mQFMNrmT). Or watch our Shelf Life series about behind-the-scenes research collections (kzbin.info/aero/PLrfcruGtplwFmei0eozpPDufq_kEMqGTy). Hope you enjoy!

@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory Awesome, just what I needed

[@stratigraphymajor8196]

Breathtaking exhibits !! 😁

[@user-kg6xm6rg1z]

Strangely, the stone stopped singing several years ago. As psychic edgar Cayce researchers have subsequently discovered, the stone's silence coincided with a museum renovation. The stone was removed from a prominent position in front of the gallery windows, where it stood in direct sunlight, and was placed in the back of the room, (away from the window) where it is bathed only in artificial light. Perhaps one day an enlightened curator will position the massive specimen back in the sunlight and it will sing again. From:Edgar Cayce - The Mysterious 'Missing Month'

[@luckynyaa2826]

What a beautiful museum!

[@efun1234]

I went there and stayed 2 hours on the mineral exhibit. I know a lot about minerals.

[@gaylecheung3087]

Fascinating perfection

[@WhoDoUthinkUr]

Incredible

[@goldcambodia]

Thanks admin!

[@bigpompano1659]

[@jwonderfulsuccess]

Incredible. All done from the great imagination of the great most high Creator 🙏

[@Raydensheraj]

Tell your preferred version of invisible supernatural superbeeing that his other "great" imaginative and horrible creations suck.... starting with the way too narrow female birth canal causing millions of miscarriages and spontaneous natural abortions....why does your preferred version of invisible supernatural superbeeing love ending the life's of babies and mommies? Cancer, Crohn's disease, Klinefelter syndrome or Proteus syndrome? Parasitic wasps that lay there eggs in other species? Also....most of the universe is empty and dangerous for humans? Why would your preferred version of invisible supernatural superbeeing construct a universe with radioactivity, black holes, supernovas and astroids.... threatening to our species... Funny how you can sit there proclaiming minerals are a great thing.... intelligently designed by your preferred version of invisible supernatural superbeeing....but you have zero testable verifiable material EVIDENCE. Nothing but maybe (i assume) a certain translation over and over reedited holy book written by fishermen, camel riders and individuals that believed in witches, ghosts and earth being the center of the cosmos....that's the sources you trust I assume.

Hank saved this to his playlist

[@nycgweed]

[@user-carRuiz47iguana]

Gracias por la información 🙌👍🇦🇷

[@kayleesykes2739]

I’d love the chance to even stand in that room imagine how you’d feel surround by all those massive pieces of energy carrying minerals GEEEZ 👁👄👁

[@ThePathOfEudaimonia]

Please tell me this is irony. ;-p

[@GHMinerals]

Earth treasures!!!

[@joseluisgaribay5171]

Mmh! bonitas piedras y lo que quieran siempre que NO Estén manchadas de sangré x que si no NO valdrían nada hay que tener conciencia y sobre todo escrupulos ok

[@PungiFungi]

They changed it to another boring hall. I loved the layout of the original hall with its circular pits and steps and side passage, like something in a James Bond movie villain’s hideout.

Show fashion

There is a real possibility if the country votes red again, this all could be gone. Please be wary of your vote and vote for it's preservation. THanks

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Cool rocks 👍 But the curator is lying about dates 👎

[@kitkatfloof-fanclub3822]

jesus chris theyre minerals

[@nothinggrand3805]

How tf is he lying. This is his profession. He knows more about this stuff than you do.

[@mnheintzelman1373]

I don't find proper labeling to be distracting, I do however find being offered only a letter, then having to look it up on a table below the display over and over and over again, to be very burdensome and exhausting. a VERY poor choice.

[@muhlisinmolis2838]

I have biggest certified natural opalized wood opal weight 20.5 kg, location jakarta Indonesia, if you interest please write comment.

[@hornthieves]

big deal

[@beaulah_califa9867]
