Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a captivating specimen of Linarite, a vibrant azure blue mineral with crystal growth reaching nearly 25mm. Linarite is a rare and beautiful sulfate mineral composed primarily of lead copper sulfate hydroxide. Its striking blue hue and prismatic crystal structure make it a favorite among mineral collectors and enthusiasts. Originating from the Natural History Museum in London, this Linarite specimen is a testament to the museum's extensive collection of natural wonders. The mineral's native name comes from the Latin words "linum," meaning flax, and "arite," meaning earth, likely due to its original discovery in association with flax plants. Linarite crystals exhibit a unique and intriguing prism shape, with each face displaying distinct angles and facets that refract light, creating a mesmerizing display of blues and shimmering highlights. The mineral's copper content gives it a metallic sheen, adding to its allure. This studio shot captures the Linarite specimen in its full glory, highlighting its intricate crystal structure and rich, azure blue coloration. The Natural History Museum's meticulous preservation techniques ensure that this precious mineral will continue to inspire awe and fascination for generations to come. As a sulfate mineral, Linarite is part of a larger class of minerals that form when sulfuric acid interacts with other elements. Its rarity and unique properties make it a valuable addition to any mineral collection, and a reminder of the natural world's endless capacity for beauty and wonder.
