‘Diamonds Found In Coal’, ‘A Bee In Amber’, ‘A Chick Hatching’, ‘The Colours Of Precious Stones Like Opals And Pearls’, ‘The Queens Crown Jewels Held Inside A Tower’, ‘A Majestic Animal Caged’, ‘An Erupting Volcano’, ‘A Hidden Garden’.

You could research where splendid things come from originally like a butterfly in a chrysalis or how they evolve like the exploding volcano or end up like a fossilised insect? Do you know of something amazing that is hidden inside something quite ordinary? Look closely at the details in things. What makes it splendid? Where is it imprisoned?
