  • Pendulum Pencil Magnet £7.00£65.00 ex VAT

    The Geologist’s Pendulum Pencil Magnet serves as an excellent tool for conducting tests and determining magnetism in specimens. Crafted in the form of a pencil, complete with a pocket clip and a Neodymium Magnet tip, this device is designed to streamline the process.

    Featuring a Stainless Steel spring wire clip positioned at the center, the “pencil” pivots around this central holder when the magnet is gripped or a line is attached to the pivot clip.

    During the examination of a Core Sample, the Neodymium Magnet at the tip is drawn toward magnetic minerals within a rock specimen when brought into proximity, facilitating efficient analysis. The body is crafted from bright orange nylon, making it highly visible. Additionally, due to the lighter weight of the body compared to the steel magnetic pens (which can be found HERE), this makes even small instances of magnetic attraction observable. This pencil magnet measures 13 cm in length, and discounts are available for bulk purchases.

  • Steel Point Scriber £6.00 ex VAT

    An ideal tool for hardness testing during geological fieldwork, the steel-tipped scriber features a genuine steel point, making it well-suited for assessing minerals up to 5 on the Mohs hardness scale. The pointed tip can be easily retracted and reversed, ensuring safety during storage in your rucksack, pockets, or other compartments. With knurling along its body, it offers an excellent grip, while a clip on the opposite end allows for convenient attachment to shirt pockets, notebook edges, and more. Manufactured in the USA with American steel, this scriber weighs a mere 12 grams.

    • Pointed steel tip (reversible)
    • Knurling for superior grip
    • Pocket clip

  • Streak Plates – White £0.40 ex VAT

    An off white coloured streak plate made form porcelain, they are used by field geologists and students as a means of performing streak tests on minerals. This test simply involves one, scratching the surface of the tile with a particular rock or mineral, the coloured streak left behind then assists the user in determining the mineral, or minerals within a rock sample.

  • Tungsten Carbide Scriber with Magnet – Black £7.00£65.00 ex VAT

    A tungsten carbide scriber for geophysical testing of minerals, performing scratch tests in the field according to the Mohs scale of hardness. Tungsten carbide is at 9 on the mohs scale of hardness and so this scriber is more suitable for harder minerals. Knurling along the body gives users extra grip and the built in magnet will allow for magnetic testing of iron bearing material. The tip is reversible for safe storage and a pocket clip allows for placing in your shirt pocket or along a notebook.

    • Length: 150mm (6 inches)
    • Tungsten carbide pointed tip
    • Permanent magnet is built in
