Gemau a Chrisialau o Gymru
Mae mwynau wedi chwarae rhan bwysig iawn yn natblygiad economaidd a chymdeithasol Cymru ers yr
Oes Efydd. Byth oddi ar y cyfnod hynafol hwnnw, mae brigiadau mwynol a mwyngloddiau wedi cael eu gweithio ledled Cymru, gan y Rhufeiniaid, mynachod Sistersaidd, cymeriadau enwog byd mwyngloddio'r ail ganrif ar bymtheg megis Thomas Bushell, ac yna ymlaen hyd oes aur y diwydiant mwyngloddio metelau yng nghanol y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, pan aed ati i agor siafftiau neu fwyngloddiau ar frigiad bron pob gwythïen a ffawt y wlad.Ar hyn o bryd mae oddeutu 4,900 o wahanol fathau o fwynau yn cael eu cydnabod yn fyd-eang, ac mae presenoldeb 430 ohonynt wedi'i gadarnhau yng Nghymru.
Yma, cyflwynir detholiad o ddelweddau o fwynau a gedwir yn storfeydd Amgueddfa Cymru, gan ganolbwyntio ar rai o'r enghreifftiau mwyaf lliwgar yn y casgliadau.
