The Rose of Irai
In the museum gallery, guests can press a button to open a two-part amethyst weighing 180 kg and play music. The exhibit is mysteriously lit to give visitors a sense of how it feels to a prospector when they first open a newly discovered amethyst vein.
Open a crystal/vein
Visitors can buy closed crystals in the shop or bring them from home and get them opened, or cracked like a nut, in the museum.
