A new display consisting of a collection of 30 fine minerals has been unveiled in the Alexander H. Phillips Mineral Gallery in Guyot Hall. The minerals are on loan from the extensive collection of Carl ’64 and Edna Heimowitz. The specimens were collected over many years and originate from six different continents. The theme of the exhibit is Nature as Artist; the collection showcases the variety of colors, textures, and shapes found naturally in minerals, and reminds us that nature is both a scientist and artist. The exhibit was designed and installed by Louse Barrett (Princeton Art Museum) assisted by Kellie Swadba ’17.
