Les min\u00e9raux<\/h3>\n

Un voyage au c\u0153ur du monde min\u00e9ral. Les min\u00e9raux constituent les piliers de la collection du mus\u00e9e, r\u00e9unie d\u00e8s la fin du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle pour former les ing\u00e9nieurs des Mines. Riche de plusieurs dizaines de milliers d\u2019\u00e9chantillons, la collection couvre l\u2019ensemble des familles min\u00e9rales connues, avec des sp\u00e9cimens embl\u00e9matiques par leur qualit\u00e9 cristalline, leur raret\u00e9 ou leur origine historique.<\/p>\n

De grandes vitrines pr\u00e9sentent des pi\u00e8ces spectaculaires issues d\u2019anciennes mines fran\u00e7aises, de gisements europ\u00e9ens et de sites embl\u00e9matiques \u00e0 travers le monde. Class\u00e9e selon une logique scientifique rigoureuse, la collection est \u00e0 la fois un outil p\u00e9dagogique, un patrimoine d\u2019exception et un \u00e9merveillement pour tous les visiteurs.<\/p>\n

Les gemmes<\/h3>\n

Beaut\u00e9, raret\u00e9 et science des pierres pr\u00e9cieuses. La collection de gemmes du Mus\u00e9e de Min\u00e9ralogie comprend des pierres pr\u00e9cieuses et fines \u2013 diamants, saphirs, spinelles, opales ou tourmalines \u2013 souvent taill\u00e9es pour r\u00e9v\u00e9ler leurs jeux de lumi\u00e8re, mais aussi des gemmes brutes, p\u00e9dagogiques ou rares.<\/p>\n

Certaines pi\u00e8ces sont directement li\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019histoire de la gemmologie fran\u00e7aise et \u00e0 la recherche men\u00e9e au sein de l\u2019\u00c9cole. Cette section permet de comprendre les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s optiques, la classification des gemmes, mais aussi les enjeux de leur identification, entre nature et imitation.<\/p>\n
