If thats actually from the smithsonian in Washington DC, its probably in the recently renovated american history museum. There is a section in the lower levels all about technology and products the changed regulations. So they have an old ipod and lawn darts… Its very odd seeing that stuff be called history.

This is an old pic from the Smithsonian Natural History museum. The geology wing, I think. It was supposed to be an example of gems refracting light or something.
On a side note, if you ever get the opportunity to go to a Smithsonian, fuckin do it. People, they had literal meteorites the size of sedans just sitting there with a sign on it encouraging you to touch it. I touched a fucking hunk of metal that had been careening through the void for a number of years my little monkey brain has trouble grappling with. Sorry. It left an impression. Go if you get the chance
