Mineral Size Guide
From delicate thumbnails to impressive cabinet pieces, mineral specimens are categorized by strict size standards used by collectors worldwide.
Thumbnail
Thumbnails are tiny, highly collectible pieces often displayed in standard 1.25″ Perky boxes. Their compact size allows collectors to store hundreds of specimens neatly in drawers or showcases, making them perfect for those with limited space.
Miniature
Miniatures strike the perfect balance between beauty and portability. They fit comfortably in hand or small acrylic display boxes and are favored for showing full crystal formations in a compact, manageable form.
Small Cabinet
Small cabinet specimens offer a visually strong presence without demanding too much space. They are ideal for tabletop displays or larger shelves, bridging the gap between delicate miniatures and large centerpieces.
Cabinet
Cabinet specimens are the classic collector standard. Large enough to showcase complex crystal structures and matrix details, yet still practical for most shelves and lighted display cases.
Large Cabinet
Large cabinet specimens are impressive centerpieces. Their commanding size and presence make them highly sought-after for museums, high-end galleries, and serious private collections.
