Minerals and rocks

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

The collection consists of hundreds of samples probably well identified in origin. These are some beautiful and valuable Sicilian findings, not only from a collecting point of view, gathered directly by Minà Palumbo or acquired by him from other commercial sources. The collection also includes important local, organogenic artefacts even because they have been used as a template fingerprint for the iconography of the Natural History of the Madonie. Particularly interesting are some dendrites on limestone. Recently the collection has been enriched with the donation of a part of the Giuseppe Torre collection, thanks to his children.
