Ice Crystals

While organising a surprise birthday party for her mother, my wife came across a pack of crystals designed to go into a vase to hold artificial flowers:

As you can see, these are a little on the large side to be scatter on a base (the figure in the second picture is a 15mm Inuit Shaman) and to irregular to build a ‘fortress’ or wall with and up to know the only ideas I have are:

  • Cut in half and base up for rough ground
  • Use as loose scatter for rough ground
  • Create an ice flow as a terrain piece
  • An Iceberg for my 1/4800 ships
  • Gems for RPG games (shame I am not playing them)
  • Sell some on eBay as a mixed bag with other colours as gems

Any other thoughts?

Ooh, ooh! I vote for cutting in half and using as icebergs for the 1/4800th - they'll be just perfect!
