Fluorite (also known as Fluorspar) is the mineral form of Calcium Fluoride (CaF2). Fluorite is a common mineral composed of calcium and fluorine and is commonly used in industry for metallurgy and ceramic processes as well as in some health products such as toothpaste. These specimens exhibit various colours, from clear to green and even purple hues and are mostly massive and crystalline, though some individual cubic crystals are present. They come from Morocco and are available in various sizes. Specimens are supplied in a 2″ x 2″ or 3″ x 2″ white 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.
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.
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.
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
Chalcedony mineral specimens from Morocco, the pieces belong to the quartz family of minerals and is very similar to carnelian, even having a waxy lustre, although it tends to have a botryoidal crystal habit. The pieces are blue, white, red and orange and available in various sizes, supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Iceland spar is a clear variation of calcite, it exhibits the rhombic crystal system of calcite perfectly, the crystals easily divide into rhombs, making them well sought after for a variety of reasons. Originally reported from Helgustadir Mine, Eskifjord, Iceland, hence its name. One of the most remarkable aspect of Iceland spar is its refractive properties. When light passes through one of the crystals, it is divided into two rays at different angles which results in a double refraction effect. Essentially, anything seen though the crystal is seen in double. This can best be seen if you place the calcite over some text, it will appear as if it has been printed twice. These mineral samples come from Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico and are available in 2 sizes: Upto 1″ and Over 1″. They come in a card tray with an information label.
Desert rose mineral specimens composed from gypsum found in Tunisia, the samples are composed of numerous crystals which resemble ‘petals’ which are randomly orientated, thus giving them a rose flower effect. Specimens are supplied in a 1.5″ x 1.5″ card tray or as approximately 1 cm diameter pieces in 1″ magnifier boxes 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.

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.
Tektite mineral specimens which were collected from Thailand, and have formed an irregular ‘tear drop’ shape. Each specimen measures 10 – 20mm approx in size. Radiometric dating gives an approximate age of 700,000 years old. Specimens are irregular in shape and are mainly black & opaque with a glassy lustre on fractured surfaces.
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.
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.
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.
Rhodolite garnets in quartz and mica schist matrix from Southern Norway exhibiting bright vibrant pink coloured garnets in a white quartz and metallic grey mica schist with a start contrast of colours, these minerals specimens are available in 3 sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a label.
Specimens of small almandine garnets found in India. These specimens are supplied in a small white card tray with an information label. The specimens are approximately 1″ – 1.5″ cm in diameter though this will vary slightly.
