Angelite is a popular trade name for a variety of Anhydrite that is light blue-grey in colour, semi-transparent, fine grained and marketed as gem material. These specimens, along with most angelite, are from Lima, Peru and were collected near the Casapalca Mine at Casapalca, Huarochiri Province, Lima Department, Peru.
The Casapalca mineral deposits were initially mined to a limited extent by the Spaniards in the 1600s. Over the past century, they have served as a significant source of silver, copper, lead, and zinc. However, amidst these metal deposits, the presence of a unique variety of anhydrite known as “angelite” stands out. Surprisingly, “angelite” formation is unrelated to the metal minerals in the area.
Angelite was created when solutions rich in sulphate interacted with calcite in limestone, leading to the formation of massive anhydrite. This anhydrite possesses a striking blue colour due to trace amounts of divalent (ferrous) iron. These anhydrite formations took shape as nodules within altered limestone layers. Interestingly, when the surface of these anhydrite nodules came into contact with chemically neutral groundwater, they underwent rehydration and transformed into gypsum, resulting in a white coating on “angelite” specimens.
These specimens are ideal for both collectors and educational use, available in a range of sizes. They come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

An evaporite mineral, it is closely related to other such mineral including gypsum, halite,calcite and others.
Specimens of Ironstone that have been collected from Breitung Mine, Marquette County, Negaunee, Michigan, USA. These specimens are a deep reddish brown in colour with some specimens exhibiting clear banding. Please note that banding is not visible on all pieces. These specimens are available in very limited supply with three sizes to choose from. They come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
Additionally we also have one large display piece available, measuring approximately 18cm x 15cm at its widest points. This display specimen exhibits a distinct botryoidal texture on its top surface, making it an intriguing and appealing specimen to add to any collection.
Specimens of Baryte, collected from Dirtlow Rake, Castleton, Derbyshire, UK. Baryte is a widely occurring mineral, consisting of barium sulphate. It is very dense and can occur with many crystal habits. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.
Specimens of Garnets in Biotite, collected from Agder, Norway. The garnets in these pieces are almandine garnets, which are the most popular and common variety. These specimens exhibit deep red garnet crystals within a matrix of black biotite mica. They are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.
The Estwing E6-24PC geological hammer, also known as the ‘Big Blue’ hammer is a pointed tip strike tool which features a wider flat face, delivering more force per strike, making breaking and crushing of rock much easier. It also features a pointed tip, suitable for picking and prying material as well as allowing careful extraction of fossils or crystals from matrix. The hammer is made from a single piece of drop forged American steel and utilises a anti shock vinyl handle for comfort.
