Acknowledgments

Volunteers have always been an instrumental component in the success of the museum. 

We want to thank Dr. Robert Downs and the mineral museum advisory board for the leadership and vision over the past 10 years during the museum's time at Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium. Dr. Yang and the museum volunteers packed, transported, and moved the entire museum collection to the new facility.  Mineral specimen washing and prep have been underway to get specimens to display ready. Thank you to Les Presmyk for traveling to Tucson weekly. We are sincerely grateful for all of their efforts.
