The University of Arizona: Museum Day – Alfie Norville Gem and Mineral Museum

The Alfie Norville Gem and Mineral Museum invites you to explore its three galleries through a self-guided tour highlighting Earth’s geological story and artistic transformation. The Mineral Evolution Gallery explores the formation of our planet through rock-forming minerals, meteorites, and fossils, while the Arizona Gallery showcases the region’s rich mineral heritage, with a focus on Arizona and Mexico’s turquoise and copper-bearing minerals. The Gem Gallery reveals the cutting processes that transform raw materials into dazzling gemstones and fine jewelry.
