Understanding mineral sizes can help you choose the perfect specimen for your collection. Below is our guide to the standard size categories we use:

Info |
Thumbnail |
Up to 3 cm |
Thumbnails are small but well-formed mineral specimens that are perfect for display in thumbnail cases. |
Miniature |
Up to 5 cm |
Great balance between size and detail - larger than thumbnails but still compact enough for easy storage and display. |
Small-Cabinet |
Up to 9.4 cm |
Small-cabinet specimens offer larger crystal formations while still being easy to handle and display. |
Cabinet |
Over 9.4 cm |
Ideal for prominent display pieces in a collection. Larger crystal formations and structure. |
