This collection contains samples of metallic and non-metallic (ores and “non-ores”) mineral raw materials. The first unit we preserve was the bauxite geological collection of György Bárdossy, received by the museum in 1991. In addition to ore (i.e. bauxite) samples, it includes specimens of the underlying and overlying rocks of the deposits as well. Development of the collection by aquisition of more different kind of mineral raw materials is in progress.
