One of the best place to visit if you or your kid loves different coloured stone, crystal. Collection of stone is very huge. Collector had collection of crystal & mineral from different parts of world and Maharashtra. You will need atleast 1.30+ hours to complete museum visit so plan it accordingly. Best thing they provide guide Suggestions to management - currently management restricted access to 1 hour, it's very difficult to complete it within 1 hour time window. Please increase this time or don't put restrictions Removed 1 star for time constraints

It's a good place to visit with you family.. it's a private place.. very well maintained. You get to see very beautiful and rare stones... minerals.... fossils. It's a recommend place to visit. You can even buy jeweler and artifacts made of various minerals. Stones....

best place to watch exotic stones and minerals. superb collection of minerals from different parts of India. very good staff. specially shubham sir, Anna, kaka and other staff are very knowledgeable and supportive. thanks. surely must visit place.

Very well maintained museum. This is the biggest private minerals museum in Asia. Must visit place to see wonders of mother earth. Beautiful collection of rare stones n stone formations from surrounding hills and world over. Specially for kids 11+ age... Were they get knowledge of Geology. Very courteous and informative guides who take you on a tour of the whole museum.

Wonderful and fabulous mind blowing place, will never forget the experience. Best Staff. Guide is very nice. Shop Available for shopping of stones. Moon and Mars Stones are present.

Best place..ever... peaceful environment...feel like paradise..i love that eco sound when i enter in tomb..once u may visit mukti bhoomi

Good place for enthusiastic people who would have interest in stones, minerals and gems. Lots of good artifacts to check. It will take about 1 - 1.5 hours for the visit. They have a shop to buy souvenirs too.

Gargoti museum has the best collection of very rare crystals and minerals. The property is privately owned. Ticket is 100 Rs per person. They have guides for the tour inside a two story museum. Guides have good knowledge of what they are talking about. They are professionals in searching stones and getting minerals out of them.

A great place to be. Unearth the beauty hidden in stones. Never new Maharashtra belt was so rich in minerals. Next time you sit on a rock, do think..., is it holding some beautiful minerals within? Great to see rocks from the Moon and Mars too. All in all a truly enriching place for entire family

This place is great for Geologists. They have a good collection of Rocks, Minerals and Fossils. You can easily spend an hour here and not be bored. Entry fee is Rs. 100 per person. Very well maintained and clean. I don't think this is an ideal place to take smaller children. They also have a store on the upper floor where they have jewellery and other artifacts made out of special stones. Definitely check it out. Overall good to visit 👍🏻

Nice collection of Miners found in different parts of India and world. Shop is also available to buy decoration items made from stones. Guide had nicely explained most of the Minerals. Jwellary items. Fee 100₹ Guide: Free

The museum has unique collection of fossils , specimens of various minerals in raw form collected mainly from various locations in Maharashtra and few from abroad . It also has a shop where gems can be purchased in bracelet,pen ,ring ,pendant ,necklace , decor form .

Hidden gem. If you want to learn geology and rock formations, it is really good. Their collection is amazing. Rocks from moon and Mars is inspiring to see in India. Pyrite iron ore and fossils of Indian dynasour is mind boggling. But I think the guide needs to slow down. In order to complete it in one hour (I don't know why the hurry) he was rambling words and he himself was not able to understand or answer questions. They need to explain some words either in charts or video format so that students can take notes and also remember things.

This place is amazing. The kind of stones collected by the owner are so mesmorizing. One must visit the place especially those who love crystals. You can easily spent couple of hours watching them. You get a guided tour.

Fantastic place to learn the beauty of mother nature and the beautiful natural mineral formations - a must visit when you are in Nashik !!

One of a kind museum in India. Proud of India. All the stones/gems/minerals etc... Very well explained by staff. Very cooperative, trained, polite staff.

Amazing Place

Really great collection of mineral stones. One must visit to see the beauty of stones. And definately the hard work behind collecting the stones. A must family visit spot. Entry fee is just Rs. 100 which is affordable. Even children will love it.

Most interesting and unique kind of museum to visit. You can see and buy various unique minerals and precious stones here. The guides give you good insight into minerals and mining activities. It has good washroom as well. This place comes on the way to Shirdi.

It's one of unique museums in the country. It's the only gem, mineral and fossil museum and the biggest in the world by an individual privately. It's a wonderful place for the subject experts and students in the related field. It's organized in a wonderful way, maintained beautifully and asthetically in the best manner. Of course, it's visited by many but I have doubts, whether people from other areas of Maharashtra and other states are visiting it. This place needs to be visited to know the beauty of earth and geographic wonders for the laypersons as well for the geology students. Staff is knowledgeable and cooperative to give all the information.

* Well curated & preserved collection of numerous minerals, rare metals, fossils and other things. A must visit place for families, friends while visiting Nashik. * The guide was well Trained and had a lot of knowledge about the minerals but he kept standing too close to us and it was deliberate. He made us uncomfortable with his behavior. This made our overall experience very bad even though we liked the collection very much. Management should take some action against him.

Excellent collection of crystals. The guides explain the process of crystal formation in a very simple manner. The small shop also has a good collection for gifting.

The museum is neat and clean. Good place to visit for those who are keen to learn about different naturally occurring minerals and jewels.

Good to know about rockstone. But you need proper guide who can give you proper knowledge otherwise it's not worth to visit.

Wonderful experience visiting this museum. It was well explained by our tour guide Mr. Pardeshi. A nice souvenir shop at end of tour. Parking is not an issue.

Must visit..awesome collection of unique articles..also one can buy items offered for sale

An unique kind of arts gallery situated in sinnar MIDC on Nasik Pune highway, dedicated to Stones. Various layers of stone and its inner beauty can be seen over here with a proper naming to it. The stones are from various parts of the world, while local (Nasik/Jalgaon/ Nagar) in more quantity. The ornaments are also made with this various stones and are also available to purchase. One time visit Recommended .

Great place .. A must for kids and adults alike ..

Wonderland for mineral enthusiasts. Huge collection of rare minerals and fossils. Informed guides take you through the museum tour. Definitely worth a visit, there's probably very few places in the world where one could see such variety of minerals in one place.

Awesome collection of rare minerals and crystals. Very good for kids to learn.

An awesome collection of various types of minerals and stones. Most of the minerals consisted of the ones found in Maharashtra, and some of them were imported from foreign countries too. The road to reach there is okay, and you might find it a bit difficult to spot this place as it's a bit far away from the main road, but maps help you to reach that place. There is ample parking space available too for private vehicles and small tourist buses. Till now, public transport is not available to reach this place. Entrance fee to the museum is ₹100 and it's worth it as you also get a guide, who tells you about each and every crystals and minerals present in the museum. It might take one an hour or a couple to explore this place. There is a shopping centre too available for people to shop for some precious stones in the form of jewelleries or as decorative show pieces. Make sure that you have some decent meal before coming to this place. Since this place is located in an industrial area, hence you might not find some eateries nearby.

Heard that this is the only museum in entire Asia dedicated to precious and semi precious stone formations. Really amazing place with very good collection from all around the world. One of the best place to visit for all ages. Situated around 30kms from Nashik. Best part is guides are very good. Entry fee is nominal INR 100 per adult.. Entry for kids under 5yrs is free.

A must visit museum when you visit Shirdi or Nashik. This museum has a stellar collection of local rocks from Mumbai, Nashik, Jalgaon etc along with precious and rare gems from US, South America and the other parts of the world. It also has a collection of rock pieces which have fallen on earth from the Moon and Mars along with remains of Dinosaurs. You can also buy jewelry of precious stones from their shop located inside the museum.

My parents had been here a few years ago and had recommended a visit, and it was worth it. So many beautiful mineral crystal from across Maharashtra state. First time ever I saw a natural gold nugget and crystal gold. They have an interesting collection of fossils too. They were kind enough to evaluate the stone samples we had bought along. They have very well educated and informed guides who dispense knowledge and involve the audience. They have a small museum shop too with reasonably priced artefacts.

India's one and only gem and mineral museum. Well maintained and systematic. The collection is amazing

For a moment I thought it's a small place.This it is beyond expectations. A Must Visit if u are traveling to or from Nasik Via Sinner and have an hour to spend.they also have a store where they sell the stones and articals made of stones.

A rare and unique museum near Nashik which has a collection of rare local rocks from the region (Mumbai, Nashik, Jalgaon) on display. It also has a collection of expensive gems from across the globe along with remains of Dianasor, rocks from Mars and Moon. A must visit museum if you are around Nashik.

It was beautiful. There were beautiful structure made out of gargoti. Definitely a must watch

Good place to see different natural crystal and types of stones. Very well placed and attendant provides very good information!

Superb collection of stones and marbles.. this is the.must see place and only 30 kms around from Nashik.. the guides here are very kind and informative... More than 5 star.... P.s. you won't understand anything without guide explaining about collection and they are available without any extra charges...

Fantastic place to visit. Around 2 hours time requirement. Well maintained private museum. Parking available. Must visit. Fantastic non veg food available at Hotel New Vaishnavi (5 min driving distance).

Most unique and wonderful place to visit on a trip to Nashik Vast collection of stones and rocks from all over the world. They do provide guide for tour which is must if one wants to understand each and every piece of rock. Entry fee of Rs.100 is cheap comparable to the whole experience and knowledge one can get from visit. Must for geology enthusiasts.

Wide collection of precious stones and minerals from India, China, US and several other countries. The guide is explaining so well. All the minerals n stones are in their natural form. Good to enhance your n your kids knowledge.

Entry fee to this place is 100 per person whereas it’s free for children below 7 years of age You will find all type of rocks and stones in this museum Must visit if you have interest in the stones You can also buy stones from the shop in museum The price range starts from 10 rupees per stone amd goes upto 3 lakhs for necklace

The place has some interesting stones collected from India and other countries. The staff also gives a proper guidance to the people. The place is to be visited. The museum also sells stones for lockets, necklaces, show pieces and many souvniers in a good price.

Splendid collection of Minerals collected from all over India and around the globe. You name it and they have it. The tour of the museum was fruitful only because of the guide who explained each and every stone and crystal. He was knowledgeable and explained how a natural phenomenon transforms insides of a volcanic rock into magnificent mineral stones. He explained various stages of crystal formations, how temperature, pressure, and other ingredients affect the formations that are found in otherwise regular looking rock. It totally changed my perspective to look at the stones. It's a private collection which was a byproduct of passion combined with businesses of a visionary mineral man. Although people consider it as an educational experience and hence have limited audience I must say that it is for everyone who has ever seen a rock. The exhibits are one of a kind, rare, unique, naturally occuring gems literally. Each exhibit is different as well as exquisite than the previous one. After the visit you can purchase souvenirs to remember the visit by.

One of the must see place if you are in Nasik. A person with in-depth knowledge of minerals/geology/materials/earth sciences, etc,. will surely enjoy this museum. Don't forget to visit the store at first floor which offers various natural stones, ornaments and curios...

Great place to visit. Best collection of stones and minerals from different parts of the world. Takes not more than 1-1.5 hours.

It’s beautifully maintained and amazing to see the nature with its amazing creativity. Great collection of stones. Must visit once for stone lovers.

Gargoti, the Mineral Museum in Nashik, India, offers an informative and enjoyable visit. The extensive collection, well-labeled exhibits, and interactive elements make it a must-visit for mineral and geology enthusiasts. The staff is knowledgeable, and the gift shop adds to the experience. Don't miss it!

Stunning display if natural rock culture of world and Maharastra in particular. It's awesome and must visit who comes to Nasik .It's hours drive to Sinner

It was a great eye opener of the world around us with stone showing us the entire history of world evolution happened in BC years - worth a visit and know about the existence of great gems and minerals around us …

The private limited Mineral Stone museum feels like a fake establishment with lots of stones which they claimed that they are of rare minerals. As all know the world is full of wonders and Nature's strength is uncountable. But their collection felt like it was made by a stonemason or by using any machinery. The museum also has lots of bones which they claimed that the bones are of dinosaurs. As we all know all the Fossils are taken care of by the archeological department and private agencies have no rights to custody them. When I asked about the same,the guide replied that the said collections were gifted by the archeological department. I don't know about the reality. I hope anyone can resolve my doubts. Above all, the collection also includes the wreck from the great titanic ship, stone from Mars and stone from the moon!!!! Unbelievable??? Maybe this all can be avoided by considering the lack of my knowledge of these things, but the jewellery shop inside the museum will definitely lead you to unending confusions and doubts. The collection which is showcased on the first floor by claiming the rarity is priced 1- 2 lakhs inside the shop. I asked ,"what if the " rare and volcano- erupted-items for sale" sold out completely??". The shopkeeper replied that they have a mass number of items in the store room. What does that mean??? They are manufacturing the same or they are the lone authority or collector of mineral stones in the world. After going through all the showcased items my team felt that the museum is a false setup with a collection of fabricated stones and only very minimal items are obtained from nature. Waiting for a reply from anyone who has the best knowledge on this.
