One case features a red velvet-lined insert with hexagonal recesses, while multiple cases contain circular cutout inserts for polished cabochons and tumbled stones. The specimens represent a broad variety of silicate minerals, carbonates, oxides, and ornamental stones. A small paper label with the handwritten characters L – R is present in one case, serving as an identification key.
