This took a big effort! The amethyst geode, a gift of Robert Schabilion, hasn't been on view since 2004 - partly because it takes three men to lift it. It's now on public display in the lower lobby of Pack Place.
The Colburn is on one level of Pack Place and is accessible to people using wheelchairs. Pack Place has elevators that connect the facility's two public floors and accessible public restrooms.
Affordable, fun educational items, including mineral specimens, books and jewelry, are for sale at the Colburn's Crystal Pocket gift shop. The Colburn also sells crystal-filled, 44-million-year-old geodes from Chihuahua, Mexico, which the Colburn team can crack in half for you during your visit.
