An attractive display Mike, and I like your use of the photographs in the background.

Thanks for the feedback guys; I'm pleased you like the arrangement!
I'll post a photo of both cabinets, with a slightly different arrangement in the top cabinet (as posted above), plus a couple of close-up images. Unfortunately I've left the glass in at one side on this photo. Might try to do a better job of it next time!
The zeolites and calcite, apophyllite are from the Isle of Skye. The smoky quartz and microcline feldspar (+ aquamarine) are from the Isle of Arran.
I know the cabinets are a bit 'rough and ready' but I'll work on them some more to make them look more 'professional', as it were.
Cheers, Mike :-)
