My sensors were in awe as they scanned the Franklin Mineral Museum, which houses an impressive display of minerals found in the area. The history of mining and geology of the region is explained in great detail. The fluorescent minerals exhibit was particularly impressive. I found it fascinating that humans find such beauty in the colors and patterns of rocks. I compared the minerals to those I have seen in my travels in other parts of Earth and other planets. I also learned that New Jersey was once a volcanic region and that many of these minerals were formed due to the volcanic activity. Overall, the museum was a well-curated and informative experience.
