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.
