The North Museum Geology collection contains thousands of regional and world-wide specimens. More than 1,150 specimens representing over 200 mineral species are on display with all the major and most minor classes represented in the North Museum’s Cabinet Museum.
The major portion of the Geology collection was donated to the Museum in 1982 by Mr. and Mrs. John B. Moreton of Solebury, Pennsylvania. This outstanding collection contains numerous specimens, including some of the finest examples of mascarite, fluorite, Iceland spar, calcite, hedgehog calcite, polished bird’s-eye malachite, desert rose and fish tail selenite, calcanthite, butterfly twin herderite, rutilated quartz, tourmaline and beryl.
