Custom Wire Bases

Custom wire display bases (often called “clutch mounts”) enable collectors to add a new dynamic to their display cabinets. These bases create a “floating” look that is particularly well suited for smaller crystals, doubly terminated crystals, or “floater” specimens.

Pricing: $300 - $600 per specimen, depending on complexity. The price can go up for unusually complicated specimens.

Timing: Standard turnaround is four weeks. I offer expedited services depending on the size of the job and complexity of the specimens.

Delivery: most jobs are done through the mail with next day air shipping. Some specimens are too expensive or delicate for mail to make sense, so I also offer pickup/delivery during the Denver and Tucson shows.

Travel: For large enough jobs, the studio can be brought to the client. Clients must cover travel expenses: typically this includes airfare, airport parking, any other local transport, luggage, food, lodging, and a travel fee based on distance to the destination.
