About this Event

Join curator Sharon Fitzgerald for a lunchtime talk exploring quartz, the subject of our current exhibition.

Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth’s crust and comprises the majority of the world’s sand beaches due to its abundance, hardness and resistance to erosion. This exhibition features  recent acquisitions, an important specimen from Pennsylvania, early DuPont collection examples and a “mystery” crystal donated by Quaesita Drake, the chemistry professor for whom Drake Hall is named. 

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is requested
