Art meets science in the one-of-a-kind Mineralogy Collectors Cards!  Recognizing the need for accessible, easy-to-understand education about minerals, Maren Anne Westfall spent five years developing this deck of cards. Paintings from nearly a decade of work on minerals, combined with years of research and writing, create a beautiful and informative collectors deck that merges fine art with mineralogy.
