Reportedly the world’s largest private mineral collection, gathered from the mountains of East Iceland by one woman over a lifetime. Her grandchildren now care for the collection in her former home and garden, keeping alive the legend of a woman who literally moved mountains. Come for the stones, stay for the locally roasted coffee and home-baked bread and pastries
