This image depicts a clear glass display case located within the Museum Geologi Bandung, Bandung City, Indonesia. The case showcases various gemstones, primarily focusing on organic materials, against a purplish, textured background. On the upper section of the background, a purple banner displays text including "Star Ruby," "Opal," "Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye," and "Alexandrite." Below this, a white overlay text panel, partially obstructed, reads: "4. Batu mulia organik. Adalah batu mulia yang berasal dari makhluk hidup (tumbuhan dan hewan) antara lain: Amber, Koral, Gading, Mutiara, Shell (kulit kerang), dan lain-lain." (English: "4. Organic gemstones. Are gemstones that originate from living things (plants and animals) including: Amber, Coral, Ivory, Pearl, Shell, and others.") The display contains several objects: * **Upper left:** A circular, yellowish-brown piece of amber, possibly containing an insect, adhered to the glass. * **Mid-left:** An oval, reddish-orange, polished piece of coral, labeled "Koral" (Coral), adhered to the glass. * **Lower-left:** A string of irregular white pearls, along with several loose black and white pearls, labeled "Mutiara" (Pearl), displayed on the case's floor. * **Center:** A large, greyish-purple amethyst geode, showcasing numerous crystalline structures within its cavity, standing upright on a white pedestal. * **Lower-center-right:** An iridescent, oval-shaped abalone shell pendant, labeled "Kulit Kerang" (Shell), resting on a white pedestal. * **Right:** A round, light brown cameo featuring a female profile, set within an ornate golden-colored frame, adhered to the glass. * A small, dark grey information plaque is visible on the pedestal beneath the geode; its text is unreadable. The display case has a dark base with a purplish trim. Reflections are visible on the glass, including a dark vertical structure to the left and a portion of a wooden door or frame on the right. No people are visible.
