Posted: Feb 17, 2014 13:19 Post subject: Some impressions of Tobi collection |
|
|
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:

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

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 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.

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
