This Mineral Mounting Putty is wonderful material...it's so lightweight and easy to work with. It doesn't harden and can be twisted, turned and churned and used over and over again. It is odorless and does not stain plus it lasts virtually forever!. It is thee thing to use if you want to seriously display your gems and minerals,,,or any collectible for that matter. The price was amazingly low and that's a good thing for me because I have tons of minerals to display and I need lots of this product. It is not only highly recommended by me but the ONLY thing I recommend for this type of material. It is without comparison. Here's five mineral examples using of Mineral Mounting Putty

You may want to be sure that your hands are clean before you remove the putty and start to mould it, as you can alter the shading. That's my only recommendation ~ it does not leave residue of any kind, is easy to remove and reshape and has no odor whatsoever! I am very pleased with what I can use this putty for; even the most delicate mineral specimen.

I used to use museum wax but it often was difficult to remove from porous objects but this mineral mounting putty is easy to remove or reposition. A little goes a long way. I just used it to mount a small antler carving to the top edge of my iMac (see photo.)

Best product I have found for mounting minerals, gems, rocks & meteorites in cases and on stands for display. Holds well, does not leave residue when removed, and it is easy to remove from the specimen when so desired. I have also used it for displaying Indian Artifacts and other collectables in the same manner as minerals.

Had been looking for just the right product to set some prized pieces. A friend referred me to this product so I ordered. Arrived quickly in good order. First thought upon arrival was that it seemed a small package. After review considering the tiny amounts used per item means it will work ok. Especially how quickly reordering can happen. It does have a lingering aroma that is potent.
