Berns Quartz Smithsonian Natural History Museum

 

We are so very excited to announce that the Berns Quartz was unveiled at the Smithsonian's National Museum Of Natural History on Wednesday, October 27, 2021.  It was unearthed at Ron Coleman Mining in 2016.  It measures approximately 7 feet tall and weighs approximately 8,000 pounds. 

 

This massive Arkansas quartz crystal cluster is prominently located in the Smithsonian for visitors to view.  Owners Kevin & Kathy Coleman were photographed with the specimen during the installation of the exhibit.   Photographer credit:  Sarah Wolven
