Minerals
Collectors: James E. Moresby White
James E. Moresby White (1925–2007) was an avid amateur mineralogist with a genuine passion for collecting. He specialized in English minerals, particularly fluorite, calcite and hematite as well as gem mineral crystals including topaz, beryl (varieties: aquamarine, morganite, emerald, and heliodor) and quartz (varieties: rock crystal, amethyst, smoky, citrine, and rose).
Mr. White began collecting minerals in the late 1930s, through both acquisition and field collection. He generously donated approximately 3,500 rocks, minerals and gems to Carnegie Museum of Natural History for exhibit, reference, research and educational purposes.
