Title
Welcome to Merlins Cave - Tintagel :: Crystal, Mineral & Fossil Shop and Museum
Description
Tintagel is famous for its legends concerning King Arthur and Merlin the Magician. The museum was founded in 1980 and although small contains a renowned and highly praised collection of crystals and minerals from Cornwall and most parts of the world (including Cornish turquoise, opal and cassiterite).
A great attraction to many is the display of minerals illuminated by ultra violet lights producing a fascinating array of colour. Also the display of Roman coins actually found in Tintagel and hunting arrows dating back to the 9th century.
Within the museum are two small man-made caves, one containing Arthurian figures (including the beautiful Queen Guinevere and Arthur's half sister Morgan La Fay) and Merlin's wishing well and magic spells book. The second cave contains the dinosaurs.
