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.

Cleavelandite is a variety of the mineral albite, one of the constituent minerals of plagioclase feldspar, thus is found in areas where pegmatites and granites exists in certain localities around the world. These particular specimens come from Evje, in Southern Norway and as expected, has a pale green colouration to it. As with albite, cleavelandite also exhibits a triclinic crystal habit and has a hardness of 6- 7 on the Moh’s scale of hardness, it is usually found within cavities of other rocks or minerals. It as named in 1823 by Henry J. Brooke in honor of Parker Cleaveland , professor of geology and mineralogy at Bowdoin College in Maine. Our mineral specimens are massive in form with occasional accessory such as smokey quartz or plagioclase or orthoclase feldspar. The specimens were collected by our own staff from Evje and are available in a range of sizes. Each specimen is supplied in a labelled card tray.
Native copper ore mineral specimens from the famous Keweenaw copper deposits of Mitchigan, U.S.A. The specimens have a heavy red-orange metallic specimens with streaks of blue-green oxidation and a wiry crystal habit. Available in a range of 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.
Baryte mineral specimens, unusual samples collected from Foss mine in Scotland, they have a fine crystalline texture instead and are quite robust specimens. Pieces are off white in colour and may show a shimmer effect in certain lighting conditions. Available in various sizes, supplied in a card tray with an information 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.
Chalcopyrite mineral samples from Morocco, exhibiting typical yellow brassy colour with a metallic lustre. Lower grade when compared to our Norwegian stock but also includes occurrences of bornite which is a blue colour. Samples are available in 3 sizes, each supplied in a labelled card tray.

Specular Hematite, also known as specularite is a variation of haematite which has a silver or black colouration and metallic lustre which gives the crystals a sparkling appearance. These particular specimens are of specularite crystals with an anhedral form on a massive haematite matrix. These specimens display veins of specularite within a matrix of massive haematite. They come from Cumbria, UK and are available in various sizes, each sample comes supplied in a card tray with an information label. They would be of particular interest to those who are particular keen on collecting British mineral specimens.
Chalcopyrite mineral specimens from Sulitjelma, Norway, a major copper ore mineral, these pieces exhibit excellent quality chalcopyrite detailing the shiny brassy yellow colouration and metallic lustre expected. These mineral specimens are approximately 70% – 80% chalcopyrite and are available in various sizes and come supplied in card tray with an information label.
gypsum satin spar with an orange colouration, found in Morocco, these mineral specimens exhibit excellent fibrous texture and a silky lustre, along with the unusual orange colour, makes these particular samples very sought after simply just for their unique appearance. Available in 2″ x 2″ size pieces only and supplied in a card tray with a label.
Orthocalse feldspar mineral specimens from Evje, Norway. It exhibits a pale pink, white or pale grey colouration with excellent cleavage planes with rhombic crystal forms, a common mineral found in granites and rhyolites, orthoclase belongs to the feldspar family of minerals and can be found all over the world. Specimens are available in various sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Dolomite crystal beds, pink in colour form Morocco, the presence of manganese results in a pale pink hue, these mineral specimens also have larger crystals than the UK material and are higher quality. Available in various optional sizes, supplied in tray with a data label.
