Rhodonite specimens from Peru display a signature pink color, and are of manganese silicate composition. They also contain significant amounts of magnesium, iron, and calcium (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO3.
Rhodonite, an uncommon mineral, typically thrives in metamorphic rocks and other manganese-rich regions. It claims its presence in nine main localities: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, India, Russia, Sweden, and Peru, along with a few states in the USA.
These specimens boast a massive crystal structure, granting them a granular appearance, while the rarer ones boast red, triclinic crystals.
You can obtain these specimens in various sizes, neatly packaged in a white card tray complete with an informative label.
Specimens of blue calcite from Mexico. These samples of blue calcite vary in colour from the typical light blue to a pale almost white, they are supplied in a card tray with an information label. These specimens are perfect for mineral collectors and ideal as a teaching aid.

These octahedron crystals, while genuine fluorite have been cleaved into these shapes, a practice which has been practiced from some 200 years and still continues to this day with fluorite crystals from China. Due to the small size, these samples will come supplied in a x4 magnifier box.

Specimens of quartz geodes from Chihuahua, Mexico. These geodes are often referred to as La Choya geodes or coconut geodes, the quartz crystals within them may be clear or smoky and are often accompanied by brown calcite and agate. These samples are supplied in a white card tray with an information label, they are provided as a geode pair or as smaller geode fragments.
Orange calcite mineral specimens from Mexico, exhibiting a rich orange colour and crystalline texture, this soft mineral hovers at 3 on the Mohs scale of hardness. The colouration is due to the inclusion of hematite, an iron mineral (well known for being deep red) which in certain quantities, will give calcite the orange appearance. It is ideal for enthusiasts and collectors due to its striking colour but also for educational use to exhibit how calcite crystals can vary as well as colour and to enforce to students how mineral impurities can lead to said colouration. We have various sizes of this mineral available, each piece will come supplies in a card tray with an information label.

Sulphur mineral specimens (also spelt sulfur) from Baja, Mexico, these fine crystalline masses give off a pungent odour as expected of this mineral and have a pale yellow colouration to them. They formed in volcanic zones and are excellent for the more serious collector. Supplied in a card tray with a data label.
Sulphur mineral specimens (also spelt sulfur) from Nevada, USA, these fine crystalline masses give off a pungent odour as expected of this mineral and have a pale yellow colouration to them. They formed in volcanic zones and are excellent for the more serious collector. Available in a number of sizes and supplied in a card tray with a data label

Topaz crystals from the famous Topaz mountain, Utah, USA. these mineral specimens exhibit both yellow crystal along with bixbite, which is grey. They are small in size, only around 1 cm in length and so come supplied in a magnifier box with a data label for easier viewing. A well known semi precious gemstone due to its facetting and variety of colour, many will have seen topaz in jewellery at some point in their lives.
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.
