Displays
I develop and display some of my collection in competitive shows.
Mineral Crystal Systems
2012 - Mineral Crystal Systems
I came up with the idea for this display during my class in sixth grade. We were studying a variety of shapes and I noted that several of my mineral specimens had unique shapes. That caused me to research crystal systems.
