Rocks 'n stuff
By Pratchett, 3/14/08
The place looks like it could do with a dust and better lighting, but for atmosphere and variety the place is a "must see" if you are near ChinaTown. As a Souvineer I bought a couple of, very tactile, white underground cave spheres that looked like turtle eggs, my local rock shop guessed were a type of Jade and well worth the 150Bht each.

A Hidden Gem (pun intended)
By Maurice, 4/11/06
This was a very interesting place. I saw it as I was walking towards the river to get a taxi. I stopped in out of curiosity because I had never been to a Rare Stone Museum. Well, for 100 baht, you can see all kinds of rocks. The rocks are cool looking and have unusual shapes. Many of the rocks look like other objects and the owner of the museum names the rocks like pieces of art. On the third floor, there is an ashtray collection as well as old Chinese movie posters, European and Thai cigarette cards, and lighters. Well worth checking out if you are interested in rocks or if you like looking at random stuff.
