The Stephen Hui Geological Museum presents the largest exhibition on private mineral collections in Hong Kong in collaboration with The Mineralogy Society of Hong Kong. Running from 3 March to 31 August 2017, this exhibition showcases over 200 precious minerals from 18 collectors from Hong Kong homes.
Highlights are the infinite variety of minerals on display including one of the best gemmy single crystals of Tanzanite from Merelani Mine, a very rare large gem quality Aquamarine on Albite with large fluid inclusions from Balochi, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan and a 18 cm large gemmy Rhodochrosite on Quartz from the famous Sweet Home Mine in Colorado, U.S.A. The mineral display cabinet of the late Dr Stephen Hui Sze-fun with a selection from his private collection is also included.
