THE MINERALOGICAL (CRYSTAL) MUSEUM IN SINNAR

On the way from Nasik towards Pune shortly after leaving the suburns of Nasik, Sinnar is located. In Sinnar only few kilometers from the main road is the surprising GARGOTI museum. Here I could admire the biggest crystal collection of my live. The crystal in display originating mostly from the local mines and surrounding cities in Maharasta. For educational purposes also a broad overview of crystals form all over the world are shown in 2 uge vitrines.
The general manager of the museum was so friendly to give my explanations about the crystals and to my surprise here I learned that the druse (geodes) are not detected by specialist looking for the form of the stones but mostly show up already broken- up after explosions for mining.
I realy recommend this museum, where I spent 2 fantastic hours. The museum also has a shop where smaller druse and jewels from differnt gemstones are for purchase.
