The
museum is in 4ª
Floor of Module C-VI of the Faculty of Sciences in the UAM and in a collection of about 600
Minerals of great beauty is exposed that to a large
extent come from disinterested donations of some
professors of the University.
In the last years have been acquired new and
spectacular units, have renewed the labels of such
and the mineral species have been ordered according
to the classification of Strunz.
The
existing mineral list in the world is growing day to day so
that every year they are discovered around 20 or 30
new minerals that after a rigorous analysis remain
single in 5 or 6, because the rest is mineral
variations already known .
The forms and colors arrive at unsuspected forms,
as it would be the case of the antimonite (in the photo) that can get to
crystallize forming needles, that are arranged
radially.
As museum of fundamentally university character we
offer a more recent range of definitions and
photographies to you about the subject of the
mineralogy and the best units of the
Museum.
