Description

Several minerals in one set

Rather than a single model, the Mineral Collection contains several smaller builds representing different minerals and crystal structures, such as amethyst, quartz or ore formations. This concept is typical of nature-themed LEGO® Ideas sets, which translate real objects into stylised form as collectible pieces. Each mineral can be displayed individually or as a group, giving plenty of flexibility for arranging them on a shelf. The LEGO® Ideas programme is what makes unusual, fan-proposed sets like this possible in the first place.

194 unique parts for crystal shapes

With 194 unique parts among 880 pieces overall, the focus sits on unusual, angular shapes that recreate typical crystal structures. The parts list on this page shows how many specialised parts are needed for the transparent and faceted elements alone. Builders who enjoy geometric shapes will find plenty of inspiration here for their own decorative or nature-themed projects. The parts list on this page remains the best way to track down specific colours and shapes.

Earth tones with transparent accents

Reddish brown and dark brown form the rocky base of the minerals, while trans-clear creates the crystalline, translucent look and dark bluish grey adds further rock structure. This natural colour palette stands apart clearly from the bolder colours of many themed sets and suits a calm, science-inspired shelf display. For collectors building out a LEGO Ideas and CUUSOO collection, this model is a worthwhile addition. In the end, this LEGO Ideas and CUUSOO set balances build experience and finished result well.

Who this set suits

With no minifigures included, the Mineral Collection appeals to collectors of natural-history motifs as well as anyone after a calm decorative set for a desk or shelf. As a display model, it stands independently of any other LEGO® theme and fits into almost any collection. The parts list is also useful for spotting transparent and textured pieces for other building projects, and it makes a fitting gift for anyone interested in mineralogy.
