Clear Display Bases for Minerals
Clear display bases are the simplest and most elegant way to show a mineral: the specimen looks as if it were floating, and the base protects it from scratches and dust.
5 mm or 8 mm?
The 5 mm acrylic bases are light and discreet, ideal for thumbnails and small specimens. The 8 mm plexiglass bases have polished edges and a more solid look, perfect for heavier pieces and small cabinet specimens.
Which size do I need?
Choose a base a few millimetres larger than the footprint of your mineral, so that it rests fully on the base without overhanging. Sizes from 30 × 30 mm up to 50 × 70 mm.
