Let’s get started mounting the minerals
on the rings!
Here’s what you will need for this experiment:
• the ring mounting plates
• the rings
• some double-sided adhesive tape
• the minerals from the inside of the plaster
block
• and a pair of scissors
Let’s get started!
First, decide which ring and mounting plate
you would like to use.
The rings are different sizes
to fit different fingers,
and the mounting plates are different sizes
to fit different minerals.
Next, have an adult help you to cut a small
piece of double sided tape.
You want it to be big enough to hold the mineral,
but small enough to not stick out
from the bottom edges.
Now peel off the tape’s backing paper and
stick it to the flattest side of the mineral.
Now affix the mineral the mounting plate by
pressing down firmly.
Finally, slide the mounting plate onto the
top of the ring.
Your ring is done!
