Fluorite octahedrons, these crystals specimens display in excellent quality another variation of the minerals, fluorites crystal habits, the octahedron. The crystals each have exactly 8 faces, hence the octahedron name. During formation, if the crystals have four perfect cleavage planes, octahedral shapes are produced. These particular samples come from China, each one is slightly translucent, letting though partial light and they all vary slightly in colour through various shades of green, purple and clear. It is important to note that these crystals, are genuine fluorite, they have been broken down, using the minerals own habit into the octahedron form. We offer them in two sizes small and large with each coming in a polythene bag with a label.
Small: Approximately 1 – 1.5cm
Large: 2+ cm
All measurements taken at the widest points

Fluorite (also known as fluorspar) crystal beds with galena collected from Ashover, Derbyshire. Fluorite is a popular mineral specimen for many, children, teachers, collectors etc, it often forms with a cubic crystal habit with the crystals being a variety of colours and sizes from deep rich purples, vibrant greens, calming yellows and sometimes crystal clear. These particular fluorite crystals on matrix vary with any of the mentioned colours above. Some specimens exhibit well developed galena crystals along with the fluorite however it can be less obvious in others. We supply 2″ x 2″, 3″ x 2″ and 4″ x 3″ specimens; each in a card tray with an information label.
Fluorite crystal beds on a matrix from the famous Weardale locality in County Durham, UK, specimens exhibit a range of colours from rich greens, to deep purples, calming yellows and crystal clear samples, available in a variety of sizes. These mineral specimens are ideal for collectors, children and educational use, supplied in a card tray with a data label.
Cut ulexite mineral specimens from California, USA. A mineral similar to gypsum, ulexite is able to transmit light through its long axis, meaning if placed above an image or text, will transmit it to the samples surface as an image. Hence the name TV rock, excellent for children, these pieces are available in several sizes and will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Halite mineral specimens from the Boulby mine in Redcar, North Yorkshire, UK. Halite is a salt mineral and has a cubic crystal system and vitreous lustre, these specimens are rough and available in various sizes, suitable for educational use, supplied in a card tray with a label.

Moss Agate mineral specimens from India, deep green in colour due to the presence of chrome and iron mineral impurities, this chalcedony mineral breaks with a conchoidal fracture, has a glassy texture and can have sharp edges, caution is advised. Available in various sizes, this well known mineral has been used in the past as a gemstone as it takes a high polish, natural specimens, they will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Blue lace agate mineral specimens of moderate size which clearly exhibit alternating bands of blue and white, the specimens come from Botswana and are excellent grade with minimal matrix on them. Formed through volcanic processes and the deposition of silica compounds in igneous rocks, these minerals are both important educationally and calming to look at.

Galena with massive baryte from Morocco, showing the two contrasting colours of the off white baryte and metallic blue galena mineral specimens together, both are quite dense yet extremely fragile, these samples were collected from Morocco and available in 3 sizes.
Baryte (also spelt barite) is a widely occurring mineral consisting of barium sulphate, they can occur with many crystal habits, in this case, these mineral specimens exhibit the cockscomb mass form, in which randomly orientated blades of the mineral occur on a massive bed. These particular specimens are a pink or orange colour with a pink bed but other colours of baryte exists, including white, buff or brown. Any barite specimen is incredibly dense, with small pieces even feeling heavier than they appear, which is surprising, considering it is a non metallic mineral. This density was how the mineral obtained its name, being derived from the Greek word ‘βάρυζ’ meaning heavy. It occurs in a range of environments and deposited via many processes including biogenic, hydrothermal and evaporation, among others. Commonly occurring in lead-zinc veins hence some of the samples contain galena (lead sulphide) as well. Over 75% of baryte extracted worldwide is used for weighting driling fluids in oil and gas exploration to control high formation pressures and prevent blowouts. These mineral specimens were mined in Mibladen, Morocco, they are available in various sizes, each specimen is supplied in a labelled card tray.
Pyrite on Rhaetic Bone Bed collected from Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire. Of our specimens it is the pyrite crystal bed which is the key feature, some specimens may exhibit bones or scales but naturally this is no guarantee
