This museum explains the origin of the indigenous blue stone also known as Dominican turquoise. For thousands of years, it has been found only around the town of Barahona, in the south-west of the country. Unique in the world for its color and chemical composition, this stone has a spectrum of colors ranging from navy blue to celestial azure. Beyond the geological interest of this rarity, the stone has become a medium for jewelry-making craftsmen. The way out is through the store, which offers the very best in stone-cutting.

Musée gratuit à visiter pour sa pierre typique de République Dominicaine aux tons verts, bleus mais les bijoux y sont très chers.
