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. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
