Find the extraordinary in the ordinary.

The little story

Mineral Cabinet

Mineral Cabinet is a hipped-roof cottage with angular crystals on outdoor plinths, so the collection is always on show. A lantern by the door keeps the stones glowing after dark.

Mica is the specimen curator. Mica turns over a very ordinary stone, looks underneath and finds something that feels like a tiny galaxy. Each specimen has its own label, and one sealed glass bottle holds the sample that needs the most care.

This is a page for a collection, a club or a show-and-tell shelf. It is a premium design: you can preview it here, and publishing it will need billing, which is not live yet.

  1. Something sparkles on the little plinths outsideShow me Found
    The crystal plinths

    Angular crystals stand on outdoor plinths, so the whole collection can catch the sun.

  2. Which roof has a clever shape?Show me Found
    The hipped roof

    The cottage wears a roof that slopes on all four sides, like a tidy little hat.

  3. A glow is perched on a tall postShow me Found
    The post lantern

    A lantern keeps the specimens glowing after dark, so visitors see them at their best.

  4. Something precious is sealed in glassShow me Found
    The sealed sample

    One sample sits in a sealed glass bottle. Mica says the label matters as much as the stone.
