Treasures of the Earth

About

Europe’s finest private collection of Crystals, Gemstones and Fossils.

Story

You will be amazed by this incredible display, which took nature more than 500 Million years to create.

Housed in an atmospheric simulation of caves, caverns and mining scenes, you will find crystals over a meter tall and geodes over 7 feet tall; fossilised remains from tiny insects trapped in amber to vicious prehistoric monsters like our fossil Mosasaur.

See real Gold and Silver, ancient Petrified Wood, Rubies, Diamonds and Emeralds.

Learn about the largest Gold Nugget ever discovered and the History of the Scottish Gold Rush, and watch crystals magically change colour and glow in our UV Cave.

Come, experience the magic, and wonder which will leave the whole family in awe.

December to February

Excellent range of fossils and crystals etc. The biggest emerald in Europe is held here, along with other rareties. Housed in an old church, there's plenty to keep inquisitive minds busy for a couple of hours, followed by a good well stocked gift shop. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and happy to chat for a while. I particularly liked the display of trilobites and some of the bismuth formations. They also have a replica of the biggest gold nugget ever found, reputed to weigh over 70kg! The car park is free and it's easy to find at the side of the road. Entry was £5 each, cash only. Worth a visit on a wet day.

Simply an amazing and fun place to be, either by yourself or with the family. The people who keep and maintain the museum have done a fantastic job. Worth a visit if you have never been, or maybe come for a revisit and you might see some things you missed last time.

Our second visit, because one just isn't enough. An inexpensive look at a range of Crystal, gem and ore types combined with a small collection of fossils. There is so much to see in such a small venue that you will be more than happy to pay the reasonable entry fee. My only issue is that the shop, as is usual for these displays, is very expensive - though the items are mostly worth it I would say.

What an absolutely fantastic hidden treasure trove, we happened to come accross it by accident as we took a wrong turn but so glad we did. It is so informative and the shop is just spectacular. Be warned though, take a credit card as I can guarantee you will want to buy everything 😁😀

Fossils, minerals and gems. This very reasonably priced treat was most enjoyable and interesting. The only reason it is a '4 star' attraction is that there is not a cafe. Had there been one we would have stayed longer.
