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.

We only visited this place to kill some time as the weather didn't let us to hike.nSuch a positively turned mistake!nThis collection is UNBELIEVABLE!nSpent nearly two hours and only left because the child wanted to go to eat something.nAll their staff was helpful and informative too!nYou MUST visit this place when You are around!
Amazing collection of stones, minerals and fossils. Some of them are breathtaking. Super friendly staff. You can easily spent an hour or more there. No waiting on weekday, free parking right in front of the exposition.
Great little museum with some really impressive specimens. When we paid for our ticket, we were told that we could come back any time using the same ticket for a week. You can't argue with that. Very fair. The gift shop had some interesting items as well! It isn't very big but dedicate worth a visit. Staff were all pleasant and friendly.
Kids loved it. I thought it was super interesting. Gift shop was so cool, location was bang bang. Prices are fair too
My wife and I travelled specifically to here from Paisley via the train. We had not visited for 18 years. The location is close to the train station but there is a good-sized car park too. There are toilets on site with a gift shop, but there is no cafe on site. However, food is available across the street at the nearby shops.nnIf you are interested if natural gemstones, this is the place for you. The main exhibition is housed in a former church building. To show the display cabinets and gem construction off at its best, much of the exhibition is dark. There are no floor obstacles or uneven floors but when walking around, care is required for young and elderly. There is an upper section accessible via stairs at either end. There is no elevator.nnAll exhibits are well displayed and have written information available, too. Staff were hapy to chat and have good knowledge. The shop is well stocked of a range of appropriate items for sale.nYour admission ticket is reusable for another occasion.
