PLEASE NOTE: THIS WONDERFUL MUSEUM IS NOW CLOSED, DUE TO STATE FISCAL PROBLEMS AND MISGUIDED DECISIONS.
 
   The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum is housed in a very cool-looking building near the State Capitol, in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.  It is operated by the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, and is largely staffed by volunteers.  Also inside are a small gift shop and bookstore.
   The building is located at 1502 West Washington, and its hours currently are 8am to 5pm on weekdays, 11am to 4pm on Saturdays, and it closed on Sundays and State Holidays.  Admission is only $2 for adults, so they would surely appreciate a small donation, too.  If you like rocks, you must see this place!
