Micromounts - Harry Critchley Collection..................Updated 30 July 2026..........
Harry mounted all his micro and thumbnail specimens almost exclusively in the same sized plastic boxes 38x32x31mm approx., and were glued in with various compounds which has made them securely attached to the box. I have generally left them as they are and only added my own label when more locality information is required or other significant minerals are on the specimens.
