There were plenty of samples of exotic and rare crystals with a black light display of fluorescent minerals, all beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part, was the western art section where this colorful rendition of a Native American woman tending the flocks of goats and sheep. There were so many beautiful paintings and sculptures, many by very well known artists.
