Exquisite presentation for your minerals
professional presentation
Customised acrylic bases
A mineral collection is not only about the valuable specimens it contains, but also about the way it is presented. The right display highlights the true value and uniqueness of each piece. If you want to show off your collection to its full glory, the choice of display case, lighting and, in particular, the use of high-quality bases, play a crucial role.
At Crystal Clear Mineral Bases, we specialise in providing custom-made acrylic bases for your mineral collection. These bespoke bases ensure that your collection is not only displayed in an aesthetically pleasing way, but also protected from damage. This ensures that each piece is showcased according to its rarity and beauty.
Made in Germany
We process our acrylic bases in-house. In contrast to cheap mass-produced products, we place particular emphasis on:
-
Top quality: Our acrylic bases are not only visually appealing, but also robust and durable.
-
Precise workmanship: By using the latest CNC milling technology, we ensure that each base is individually adapted to your minerals.
Why acrylic?
Acrylic is not only an aesthetic material, but also offers numerous practical advantages:
-
No damage to minerals: acrylic is a soft material that cannot scratch minerals, as glass can.
-
Durability: compared to glass or other materials, acrylic is shatterproof and retains its clear, transparent surface for years.
-
Transparency: The clear appearance of acrylic allows the minerals to take centre stage and ensures that the viewer's eye is not distracted.
-
Easy to clean: Dust and fingerprints can be easily removed from the smooth surface, making it easy to care for the pedestals.
Protection and aesthetics combined
In addition to the visual enhancement of your collection, our bases also offer practical benefits: they protect both your minerals and the display case from scratches and damage. The fixed placement on a custom-made base prevents exhibits from slipping unintentionally.
Just a few steps to your customised base
-
Download our size templates. With the help of these, you can select the appropriate base size for your mineral and order it from us.
-
We will then send you a securely packed impression foam.
-
Carefully remove the impression foam from its packaging. It either has a cut chamfer, like the real base, or a marking on the top to easily see how far the chamfer extends.
-
Place the mineral over the foam and gently press it down vertically.
-
Press the mineral deep enough into the impression foam so that the piece stands on its own.
-
Lift your mineral vertically out of the impression foam again.
-
Congratulations, you have successfully created an impression of your mineral.
-
Pack the impression and send it back to us. We will, of course, provide you with the label.
From here on, we take over: After a short processing time, we will send you the finished milled base. We have cleaned it antistatically and provided it with elastic buffers so that the underside is protected from scratches and the base retains its high-quality appearance.
Now your mineral can be placed in its base and develop its full potential.
Of course, you will also receive these instructions in your package.
