All the specimens of the collection are here divided on the grounds of their size: Thumbnail (up to approximately 3 cm), Miniature (between 3 and 6 cm), Small Cabinet (between 6 and 9 cm) and Cabinet (more than 9 cm). As you can see, looking at the pictures above, I also report the size on the main crystal, if present. Each picture is a link to a devoted page for that specimen, where you can find a brief description and additional photos. Have fun!
