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.

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.
Massive Biotite Mica specimens, collected from Arendal, Norway. These specimens depict a “massive” crystal structure, as opposed to the more commonly seen sheets. Like all biotite mica, these specimens are dark in colour, exhibiting a dark grey to black hue. Mica is one of the most common mineral groups, with biotite being the most abundant member. Biotite is very common in igneous and metamorphic rocks, with the dark minerals in granites, pegmatites and gneiss often being due in some part to the presence of this black mica. This massive biotite are available in limited supply so we recommend you move fast if you wish to add a piece to your collection. Supplied in a white card tray with information label.
