To stand or not to stand, that is the question of mineral stands...

Displaying our rocks & minerals can be quite an adventure, and also complicated.  After countless hours of hunting for rocks & minerals, whether at a quarry or a rock show, they deserve a special place in your home displayed in all their glory.  After all that effort, they certainly don't belong under your bed, in a closet, locked away in a box where you can't see their natural beauty.

One can either place them on a coffee table, a bookshelf, a curio cabinet, or a display case.  Scatter them all over your home, using rocks with different colors and features to complement your home.  But no matter which option you choose, you need to choose the right mineral stand to complement and support the rock and insure its safety.

Four Peg Mineral StandCarved Wood Mineral StandThere are many types of mineral stands for a reason.  Each rock has a unique shape and size, and of course color.  There are triangle mineral stands shown at right.  There are peg stands shown at left.  And there are even mineral stands carved out of wood shown at right below.

These are just a few of the many mineral stand options for you to choose and there is no single right mineral stand for a particular species.  Try one that you think fits your rocks.  More than likely it will work for you, but if it doesn't chances are you probably have another mineral in your collection that it will work on.  Spend a few dollars and get your favorite minerals out of the closet and up on display on a mineral stand
