Name of the exhibit

The AMNH website gives the name of the hall(s) variously as: Hall of Minerals and Gems; The Harry Frank Guggenheim Hall of Minerals and the J.P. Morgan Hall of Gems; and The Guggenheim Hall of Minerals and Morgan Memorial Hall of Gems. The name of this article doesn't match any of these. Is there any reason why we shouldn't change the article name? Richigi (talk) 19:32, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gem info

Altered the claim that Star of India is the largest star sapphire in the world. The Black Star of Queensland is larger by 170 carats and currently thought to be the world's largest.

Also removed the claim that the Patricia Emerald was named for the mine-owner's daughter. A second source (Diane Morgan, cited for the claim about the emerald's prestige) says that the mine developer Fritz Klein claimed he named it for St. Patrick, patron saint of the Emerald Isle. Since sources conflict, and it's not that important to the article, I just removed it. Richigi (talk) 19:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
