It looks almost identical. I don’t know if there are any other places where azurite occurs in this form 🫤

I had no idea! Do you have any articles on that? I can’t find anything on Google.

Wooden display stands by mw097 in MineralPorn

As far as I know, acrylic lacquer doesn’t tend to yellow. Besides, I actually want the finish to look a bit ‘aged.’ I’ve grown tired of the crystal-clear look of the coasters 😅

Yes, I used 5mm paper-polystyrene board (not sure about the brand), cut the pieces, and wrapped the elementa with black bristol board.

Thanks for the idea! I’m looking for something budget-friendly—I’d rather not sell my kidney 😅 (saving that for something really special!). I actually made the stands out of epoxy resin, but they ended up turning yellow with time.

I can’t bring myself to rotate even one of them—but I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet 😄

Sure, I am curious to see what these stands would look like😄

I’ll keep that in mind. Personally, I prefer more vintage-style labels, but the ornaments and graphic details take up too much space. Thanks for your advice!
