@NHM_Minerals @NadWGab The Kingsbury collection is fascinating for all the wrong reasons, but is a great window into human psychology/Maslow’s theory of Human needs
@NHM_Minerals @NadWGab My favourite rock is the giant Herodsfoot, Bournonite specimen, but there again there is so much from our mineral and mining history to see. Behind the scenes the drawer full of matlockite specimens in the Heuland collection probably owns a place in mineralogical greatness.
