A wooden specimen box presents a volcanic-themed rock and mineral collection in a red, 24-compartment tray. The printed Italian labels include olivine, sulfur, calcite, obsidian, and pyrite, while photographs of eruptions and craters decorate the inside of the hinged lid. The accompanying Chinese puzzle ball is carved from mottled green-and-white stone, with intertwined dragons around a pierced outer shell and nested layers visible within. Some interior layers have material loss. Additional stone decor includes a rose-quartz candle holder, a blue agate candle holder with an exposed crystalline center, a blue grape-cluster sculpture on a branch-form base, and a round white stone bottle container bearing the Trinity Broadcasting Network emblem. The mineral box measures approximately 10.5" x 6.5" x 2" tall.
