I suppose it comes with the love of jewelry and making things to be terribly fond of geology. Nestled in between the main buildings of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum of Art sits the Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems. It is a place filled with natural wonders created by nothing other than nature and her whims. I spent a good long time in here as most people just breezed through on their way to the main museums. I do not understand how one can ignore such beauty. Especially imagining it to be placed in something to wear about your head and neck. :o)
