Rock in a Box is an original design by Ernesto Duran that celebrates three key aspects of displaying minerals and fossils. First, it creates a vanishing point that enhances the piece's natural beauty. Second, it showcases the fossil or mineral in its original position as found, allowing for a unique perspective on how it was discovered and offering flexibility in display angles. Finally, it provides a modern and versatile way to present the piece, seamlessly fitting into various atmospheres within your home.
