Callaïs

Several displays show the visitors items made from variscite, a light-green semi-precious stone referred to as Callaïs by authors from ancient times.

Great numbers of these stones were found in the tumulus across the Carnac region and there has been much research on Callaïs jewelry over the last two decades. The results of the research are presented to the public in the museum.
