The interest in starting a stone collection started in 1976 when they passed a site which had just had an avalanche in Reydarfjordur, they came on to a big clump of Jaspis which inspired them to start collecting stones, mostly collecting from the east coast and the northern coastline. The stones collecting has mostly been they’re hobby though friends and relatives have helped out and supported the museum. Now over 1000 stones are cut and polished, and that´s only a small part of the collection which has also a large part uncut but beautiful, like lava, kristals and spar.
The collection has also a wide range of stones.. as for example Basalt, Liparit, bluerock, lava, gips, baggaluta, pearlstone, gabbro, granit, jaspis, opal, spar, kalsit, kalsidon, amethyst, seolita, skolisit, heulandit, thomsonit, apophillit, fluorite and many more, and some foreign stones also.
