Educational Collections

The Educational Collections are designed to support hands-on learning, observation, and exploration for all ages. These collections include teaching specimens, comparative sets, and materials intended to invite curiosity — from first encounters with minerals to deeper study through magnification, classification, and contextual learning. They form a core part of Solaria’s learning and workshop spaces.

Palmstone Kit #1

The Solaria Palmstone kits are for people to see, hold and feel mineral specimens in a safe way. Palmstones are smooth and fit easily into the palm of your hand. By being able to hold them you can get close to them and feel their weight, temperature and subtle energy fields. It's a great way to experience the mineral world whether you enjoy crystals from a purely geological perspective or energetic and 'felt' experience.
