The plan of moving together with my girlfriend during the next months forced me to replace my former mineral showcases by a larger one that can host most of my display collection (~ 135 specimens). Here are some impressions of my collection after finishing the set-up in the new display:

Nice Tobi! Did you desighn the display cupboard yourself?

No Pierre, there's a much simpler explanation for the origin of the display. Let me explain it in four letters: IKEA ;-)

Some more impressions (German fluorites):

And finally the last ones. Please excuse that the photo quality is not the best; but this was rather a test for the set-up of my new showcase than a specimen shooting. Feedback about how i arranged the collection in the new display is welcome :-)

Hi folks, here are some more impressions of my collection in its new home, especially specimens i didn't shoot before ...

Hi guys,

i saw that my photos of the new display were moved to a separate thread. Good idea, but please could you chance my name in the topic from "Toby" to "Tobi", for there's no Y in my name ;-)

Thanks!
Tobi

Very nice collection Tobi, I particularly like the white background in the cabinet, it adds some reflective, infill light to better accentuate the crystal specimens.

Love your Indicolite - Your display case looks very nice indeed.

Very nice display Tobi. It looks like there is room for one more glass shelf above the quartz shelf.

I love your pyromorphite from Grube Gute Hoffnung, and of course all of the galenas (my favorite mineral).

Regards,
Michael
