*Mineral Eggs* is a small exhibit in the [Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery](https://hmnh.harvard.edu/earth-planetary-sciences-gallery) that displays a beautiful collection of polished egg-shaped minerals that belong to London businessman and collector Robert Myers.

The collection contains about 250 specimens. Highlights include eggs made from rare minerals such as beryls, tourmalines, spodumene, and chrysoberyl. These mineral eggs have been displayed at the London Museum of Natural History, numerous mineral shows, and now at the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
