This is our first "themed" display. we were going for a desert theme. The center cluster are Selenite crystals, in the front left are Desert Roses (a form of Selenite) behind those there is a coiled snake made of Red Jasper and he is sitting infront of a spray of Black Kyanite, which are raised up a level with a Selenite wall. To the right side, in the front is a lizard made of Unakite standing on some Petrified Wood (from Oregon), behind him sits some Quartz Dog Teeth. Then there are some dried grasses added for effect.

This second case is our last project, completed just this weekend. Its a very fun under water sunken ship. All the decor is hand made. It took me about 6 hours to complete the boat, mast and treasure chest, although I did have help finishing them from my wife and she set up the whole case. The treasure chest has actual treasure including: Tumbled Garnet, Amathyst and Emerald cyrstals, and Faceted: Garnet, Amathyst, Yellow Diamond, Peridot, Topaz, Aquamarine, and Yellow Quartz. Surrounding the chest, as well as spread through out the scene includes: Meterite, Epidote, and some fossils (which I will name later).
