Thumbnails
For our little collectors out there - explore a gallery of beautiful thumbnail fine minerals brought to you by The Arkenstone. Thumbnail specimens from across the globe are represented at a variety of price points. While there are many different ways that collectors choose to specialize, many collectors are drawn to the perfect crystal shapes found in these small, delicate specimens.
