In the heart of the Atherton Tablelands, discover The Crystal Caves, a one-of-a-kind museum born from the vision of René Boissevain. With a lifelong passion for crystals and fossils, René wanted to share his collection with the world in a way that was unique and interactive, so he built a cave.

Unlike traditional museums, The Crystal Caves invites you to touch, hold, and interact with hundreds of natural treasures from across the globe. Sparkling amethyst geodes (including one of the largest in the world), ancient fossils, and over 600 other rare mineral specimens are displayed within winding chambers and grottos, designed to feel like a real cave system. Each corner reveals another hidden marvel, with immersive lighting and textures that make the experience both magical and educational.

Don a headlamp and guidebook before stepping inside, free to wander at your own pace through the labyrinth of chambers and nooks. Every display tells a story, of nature’s artistry, the science behind crystal formation, and René’s personal adventures in collecting these incredible specimens.

More than just a museum, The Crystal Caves is a journey through René's world, where curiosity is rewarded, imagination is sparked, and the beauty of the natural world is celebrated in a truly unforgettable way.
