Smithsonian Museums, National Mall, Washington DC (August, 2004)

 
One of the coolest exhibits at the Museum of Natural History is the gem collection.

Home to some very bizarre and precious gems this section of the museum houses the 45.52 Karat deep blue Hope Diamond, the 75-carat Hooker Emerald, this huge piece of Tanzanite and so many others.
