I really enjoyed this place. The stuff was great, although it was a bit hard to understand their English but as a geologist, I would get a sense of what they were trying to say. They explained so much about the geology of Mozambique (or maybe not so much but...). Oh and the sight of all the rocks and minerals they have, it was so Gneisse to see

Beautiful collection of minerals, rocks and fossils!!! Got me back to my University days studying geology!! Entrance fee: MZN100 (Approx. $1.4)

Decidi visitar o Museu Nacional de Geologia em Maputo, um lugar que sempre me intrigou. Ao entrar, fui imediatamente atraído pela arquitetura manuelina do edifício, que já foi uma sinagoga nos tempos coloniais. A atmosfera era tranquila e convidativa, perfeita para uma tarde de exploração.

Comecei minha visita na Sala 1, onde uma exposição fascinante me levou através da história da Terra. Havia fósseis únicos de várias partes de Moçambique, incluindo a Península de Fernão Veloso. Fiquei especialmente impressionado com um fóssil de um peixe pré-histórico, que parecia ter sido congelado no tempo.

Na Sala 2, encontrei um mapa geológico detalhado de Moçambique. Um guia simpático explicou como diferentes áreas do país são ricas em recursos minerais. Ele me mostrou uma réplica de uma Rubelita de 50 cm, considerada a maior do mundo, extraída na província da Zambézia em 1956. Parte desse cristal está exposta no Smithsonian Museum nos Estados Unidos, o que me deixou ainda mais impressionado.

A Sala 3 foi uma verdadeira aula sobre as características das rochas e minerais. Havia seções dedicadas à radioatividade de minerais raros como Nióbio e Tântalo. A exibição era interativa, permitindo-me tocar em algumas amostras e sentir a textura e o peso dos minerais.

Na Sala 4, vi uma coleção impressionante de minerais moçambicanos, incluindo um grande pepita de ouro de Manica e amostras de ouro nativo de Tete e Niassa. Havia também um painel informativo sobre gás natural e petróleo, destacando a importância desses recursos para a economia do país.

Finalmente, na Sala 5, explorei uma exibição de rochas e minerais utilizados na indústria. Havia joias feitas de pedras preciosas e semi-preciosas de Moçambique, cada uma mais bonita que a outra. Comprei um anel de turmalina para minha irmã, sabendo que ela adoraria o presente.

Saí do museu com uma nova apreciação pela riqueza geológica de Moçambique e uma sensação de orgulho pelo patrimônio natural do país. Foi uma experiência educativa e inspiradora, e mal posso esperar para compartilhar o que aprendi com meus amigos...

A nice little museum in central Maputo, very close to the much more famous Museu de História Natural de Maputo (Museum if Natural History). The building is very interesting from an architectural point of view. The exhibition could be a bit more complete, but I understand there is only so much you can expect from a geology themed museum (sorry to all geologists reading this). The location is very central, and there are other nice points of interest to check nearby, so definitely can be included in a tour...

My 5 year old loved this museum. Beautiful exhibits, with minerals from all over Moçambique. The guide was very knowledgeable and kind, a geology student at Eduardo Mondlane University. Showed us a big piece of graphite and how it is used in pencils. Showed us naturally occurring fluorescence. My child says he'd love to go back to Maputo and visit the...
