The next LEGO Ideas set bundles together a bunch of shiny rocks (Jesus, Marie) in 21362 Mineral Collection, officially unveiled today ahead of its October release.
Based on a submission by Italian fan designer Dario Del Frate, 21362 Mineral Collection consists of six brick-built minerals and three freestanding display shelves on which to place them. It’s a medley of greatest hits from the mineral world, including golden pyrite, blue fluorite, tangerine quartz, watermelon tourmaline, purple amethyst and reddish-pink rhodochrosite.

His black tourmaline has also had a colour swap, but otherwise this is pretty close to the initial submission. The final model is comprised of 880 pieces and will retail for £54.99 in the UK, $59.99 in the US and from €59.99 in Europe when it goes on sale on October 1.
