A comprehensive grid of mineral specimens and gemstones rendered in soft watercolor and fine line work fills this vintage scientific illustration, each specimen labeled and arranged in neat rows against a cream background. The palette of ochres, purples, teals, and blacks captures the natural variety of crystalline forms, from translucent gemstones to rough ore deposits, creating a scholarly cabinet of curiosities frozen in time. At home in a study, gallery wall, or collector's space celebrating natural history. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
