These miniature specimens are made of natural minerals and are presented in a transparent Plexiglas container. Depending on the shape and composition of the piece, they rest loosely on a foam pad, are secured with adhesive or hot glue, or are held securely by the lid. The container protects the specimen from external influences while allowing a clear view of the crystal structure, color, and details. Ideal for collectors, for microscopic analysis, or as a decorative display piece in a display case or presentation case.
This specimen is part of our collection of high-quality thumbnail-sized pieces, fitting neatly into collector boxes with a base of approximately 4 x 3 cm. Thanks to their compact size, these specimens allow for an extensive collection in limited space and often offer high-quality pieces at more affordable prices compared to larger, flawless examples. Depending on the nature of the specimen, the pieces are secured within the case with either mounting putty or hot glue.
Important Notice: Do not attempt to forcibly remove the hot glue. Apply a few drops of lighter fluid to the base to gently release the glue. Removing the specimen from the case is done at your own risk and voids any possibility of return or exchange.
