This kinda looks like a full moon, but it's actually a perfectly round orb of polished quartz, from the museum's mineral gallery.
A chunk of amethyst from Brazil. Gorgeous.
A mineral called hematite.
There's also a fossil gallery here, complete with full-size casts of various dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
From the Science in Motion gallery, here's a replica of Sputnik and a real Bell helicopter. Awesome museum!

I love the pictures, didn't know we had a museum outside of Atlanta.
We love Tellus, too. The next time you make it to Cartersville, check out the Booth Museum, too. Not science, but certainly worth the trip!
