Beautiful experience
Open 1st JUNE - 31 AUGUST 2021 Opening hour: 10.00 - 17 .00 7 days a week Privately owned collection and run by Petra family who collected the stones. In the last decades Petra Stone Collection has been one of the most visited attraction in East Iceland. The house and garden have taken the shape of a nature museum but never the less was primarily Petra's home. In the collection are hundreds of thousands of stones and minerals all from East Iceland in the garden and the house. At Petra Collection you can buy souvenirs made by the family as well as snack at Cafe Sunno. Petra Stone Collection is most likely the biggest private stone collection in the world. Hope to see you in the summer.

Loads of stones
Truly quite a significant stone collection! The stones are all around the garden, brilliantly displayed. The garden is a lovely place to sit in the sun. The collection continues inside - so many stones! Really interesting. There is a few bits about the stones and what type of stone each one is inside. There’s also some taxidermy. There is a small cafe too. Worth a stop.

Okay
I think a lot of people stop here because it breaks up a long drive through the East Fjords. We like geology, so we found the collection very nice, but the more interesting parts were the labeled stones inside the building. The whole collection of rocks and pens and other things Petra collected was a little uncomfortable, because there are themes of hoarding and OCD behaviors throughout the whole thing.
