説明

Special exhibition "Jadeite" was held in National Science Museum from November 2004 to February 2005. For the special exhibition, jadeite-bearing rocks were collected from all the ten localities in Japanese Islands and many gemstones in jadeite-deposits in the world were purchased or donated. Jadeite rock specimens in NSM are now around two hundreds due to this new collection. In addition to this increase of collection, it is worth to note that NSM and Fossa Magna Museum discovered three new minerals from jadeite-rocks at Itoigawa area; itoigawaite, rengeite, and matsubaraite. This is an example of special exhibition as driving force for the enhancement in collection building.
