The Crystal Caves are a mineralogical museum in a fantasyland cave. Guests put on a miner's helmet and discover some of the world's most beautiful natural crystals, real fossils, and best of all the world's largest amethyst geode standing more than three metres high. The museum is set in a magnificently crafted cave to create a real mining experience.
Visitors are encouraged to touch and explore these beautiful wonders of the earth at their own pace. In the shop you can crack your own 44 million year old geode or indulge yourself in the beautiful display in the amethyst room. Spoil your family, friends or yourself with natural crystals, local gold nugget jewellery, colourful Australian Agate, Gemstone Globes and so much more.
