Wow this is a must on your 'to do list'. Lots to see! It is an amazing adventure. There is 3 shops to choose from and you can pick your own stones.
Amazing gem stones on display!!! Good place to visit when in Swakopmund
Lovely collection ( more shop than gallery) but could do with more consistent and updated information panels/graphics
A beautiful museum. A gem in Swakopmund. Worth a visit.
Wow! What an experience! Semi precious stones and precious stones on display - both as a "museum" exhibition and 5 jewellery stores with a wide range of quality products on offer. BEAUTIFUL!
Very neat showcase of local mineralogy and gem exhibits - however the displays are dated and still the same every year. A refresh or new installation would add a new dimension to the exhibits.
Beautiful place to see different types of semi and precious stones found in namibia
This is mix between a museum and a (small) jewel/fine stones shopping mall, with a few exhibits on gems and stones found in Namibia and some shops, in a very clean and modern, but quite corporate, setting. The exhibits are interesting, albeit unequal in terms of information and explanations given; there is nothing or almost nothing on the history of mining and gems in Namibia, only displays of types of gems found. All in all, slightly disappointing.
The stuff were friendly, entrance is cheap N$20.00 ... There is a lot to learn in there ... beautiful stones
Awesome experience... you could easily spend hours there.
This is a modern 2 story building with lost of different rocks and minerals on display. There are shops inside where you can buy different stones by weight, or even expensive gems for your loved one. If you are looking for your birthstone, you'll find it here.
First time at the galarie. Loved it! Wish I'd gone sooner.
It's cheap to go in but there isn't much to do if you not willing to buy the crystals.... loved the workers though
A must visit for everybody in Swakopmund. The Kristall Galerie is home to the worlds largest found cristal and further than that has a stunning variety of cristals and geological wonders in store
Beautiful displays of the minerals, but not much reading material explaining the origin of the specimens. Would like to see more geological info...maps perhaps?
Besoek and interesting rocks and crystals. Also a lead up to the jewellery they sell. I really think they could make the tour deal more with the science behind this. How did these form? Why do many in Namibia? Would make it more interesting for the guys.
Very interesting and some beautiful tourmaline pieces. I visited it in 2010. A must visit if one is interested in jewelry and minerals.
