The Peter L. Via Collection at James Madison University

An elite mineral collection that has been mostly hidden from view, even to professional mineralogists, will be open to dazzle both trained researchers and casual museum patrons.
James Madison University has received a mineral collection valued at more than $16.8 million from the late Peter L. Via of Roanoke, Virginia. The gift is the largest in JMU history and brings some of the most amazing species of minerals to the public.
