Professionel assessment
During our opening hours on Wednesday the visitor of the museum has the possibility to receive professional assessment of minerals, gemstones, rocks, meteorites and ores of their own findings following an agreement over the phone (contact). If the assessment can be done without the complexity of special apparatus it will be free of charge.
Official expert reports and/or complex assessments of visitor’s findings are with costs (contact).
The identification of fossils is done by the Geological-Paleontological Museum. The assessment of archaeological and anthropogenic findings is done by the Helms-Museums Hamburg-Harburg.
The Mineralogical Museum Hamburg offers certificates of authenticity of gemstones and pearls for the public. Those assessments require special appointments and are subject to a charge.
The Mineralogical Museum Hamburg does not provide any information on the true value of mineralogical objects (gemstones, pearls, minerals)!
