Minerals are the basic components of the material world. Dust in the air, soil, almost all industrial raw materials, salt used in daily life, stones used in daily life, commonly known as "stones", people's favorite jewelry, legendary night pearl and "magic crystal ball" are all minerals or are composed of mineral aggregates. Even the bones and teeth in the human body are mainly composed of minerals. Minerals have a huge, colorful and dazzling family.
Preface hall design scheme
Entrance to the exhibition hall: "Mineral Mountain" composed of azurite and malachite.
The Mineral Rock Museum adopts the design mode of appealing to both refined and popular tastes, combining dynamic and static, echoing reality and reality, and entertaining, so that the audience can understand the causes and original output of mineral rocks in nature, the sensory characteristics of various mineral rocks and representative mineral rocks in nature and the characteristics that can be used by people by participating in and enjoying the exhibits in the exhibition hall. While enjoying all kinds of exquisite and peculiar mineral and rock exhibits, the audience can participate in the exploratory operation of some mineral and rock exhibits through interactive exhibitions and virtual exhibitions and gain relevant knowledge.

Content planning of mineral and rock exhibition hall
In the center of the Mineral Rock Museum, the ornamental natural landscape centered on the construction of characteristic field mineral crystal caves creates an atmosphere of building the museum on the spot, including kyanite, malachite "mineral mountain", amethyst cave, topaz crystal cave, crystal crystal crystal cave, crystal-calcite * * * biological crystal cave, calcite crystal cave, fluorite crystal cave, stibnite crystal cave, orpiment crystal cave and barite crystal cave. Behind the exhibition hall is the carbonate karst landscape.

The content displayed on both sides of the exhibition hall echoes the central content and consists of main lines and auxiliary lines. The main line mainly shows various fine minerals and representative rocks in the three major rock types, and the auxiliary line mainly shows the basic knowledge and physical properties of mineral rocks. The main line and auxiliary line are interspersed with each other.
Mineral overview display
Oxide and hydroxide showcase
In the category of natural elements, natural gold (gold), natural silver (silver), natural copper (copper), diamond, graphite, natural sulfur (sulfur) and other minerals are displayed.
There are many common gem minerals in oxide and hydroxide showcases, such as ruby and sapphire, and their mineral types include corundum: crystal, amethyst, smoky crystal, topaz, rose, blue, star, opal, tiger's eye, eagle's eye, chalcedony, agate and jasper, which are timely, and opal and spinel.
In the showcase of sulfide and similar compounds, there is one of the key materials of current laser technology-cinnabar single crystal mineral; There are minerals such as orpiment and realgar that can be used as medicine; There is also pyrite closely related to gold. Pyrite is nicknamed "fool's gold" because its color is similar to that of gold and it is contemporaneous with gold.
Halide showcases display all kinds of familiar colors of halite and fluorite, and fluorite may be the legendary night pearl.

Silicate minerals can be divided into island, ring, chain, layered and shelf silicates according to the connection mode of silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Most island silicates show striking colors, thus forming many gem minerals, such as olivine, garnet, topaz, zircon and so on.
In the sub-category showcase of cyclic silicate, there are not only two high-grade gems, namely, emerald and aquamarine, but also another beryl mineral. There is also the familiar tourmaline (tourmaline is a different kind of tourmaline). These minerals usually coexist with pegmatite.
Silicate showcase
In the sub-class showcase of chain silicate, there is jadeite, the main mineral that constitutes jadeite. There is also tremolite, the main mineral of nephrite represented by suet jade, which is mainly produced in metamorphic rocks. In addition, you can also see blue asbestos, which can prevent chemical poisons and purify radioactive pollution.
Layered silicate subclasses are important rock-forming minerals and nonmetallic mineral resources with considerable economic value. Clay minerals mainly refer to those layered water-bearing aluminosilicate minerals with clay particle size, which is an important symbol for studying oil and gas reservoirs. The apophyllite mineral crystals on display here are very beautiful.
Framework silicate minerals are the main mineral components of various magmatic rocks. Because there is a big gap in the structure of these minerals, some minerals have extensive isomorphism and adsorption exchange ability. Feldspar is mainly exhibited here, which is one of the main minerals that constitute granite and can be used as ion sieve or molecular sieve.
In addition to various other sulfate minerals (such as gypsum, sulfuric acid and other mineral crystals), sulfate minerals show transparent barite samples with complete crystal morphology.
On the east side of the exhibition hall, silicate, sulfate, carbonate and other oxygen-containing salts are displayed.
In addition to silicate, carbonate and sulfate, there are borate, phosphate, arsenate, vanadate, chromate, tungstate and molybdate. Because these minerals are rare or difficult to preserve, there are relatively few specimens on display, so we classify them as other oxygen-containing salts. These salt minerals play a very important role in scientific research and production, and even in daily life. For example, phosphate minerals are one of the main minerals that constitute the human body.
Minerals and rocks composed of many carbonate minerals are raw materials or materials in industrial sectors, which have important economic significance. The carbonate showcase displays the characteristic mineral azurite in China, as well as various calcite, dolomite and brightly colored rhodochrosite.

Some representative specimens are displayed in the showcase of magmatic rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.
The specimens in the mineral boutique cabinet are basically exhibited for the first time, featuring fine, beautiful, strange and special mineral crystals. The specimens on display include tower calcite, brown calcite, aragonite, malachite "stalactite" and fluorite.
In modern mineralogy and petrology, the new minerals found in China are mainly introduced, and some new mineral specimens found in China are exhibited.
In the interactive part, the audience can learn about the birefringence, transparency, specific gravity, luminescence, magnetism, conductivity and other aspects of minerals through operation, and gain a lot of knowledge that can be used in daily life, such as how to distinguish between true and false crystal balls.
Finally, through the visit to the exhibition hall, the audience will understand the meaning of mineral names, how minerals grow, the relationship between the main common rocks on the earth and their general production locations, the overall characteristics of limestone, granite and slate in the field, and the identification methods of some common mineral rocks.
