Microscope slides of apatite from Madagascar, these slides display the crystal structure of the mineral on a microscopic level which assists in the identification of this mineral in other slides. Apatite is actually the name given to a group of minerals which include hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite and chlorapatite. It is a phosphate mineral that has a vitreous lustre, shining slightly when viewed under certain angles of light and gives a white streak, the primary use is in the manufacture of fertilizer due to it being a source of phosphorus, generally it can come in a wide variety of colours and crystal habits. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size, supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy & educational use.

Vanadinite mineral specimens with a striking rich red to orange colouration formed as crystal masses on a limestone bed. The crystals vary in size and were collected in Mibladen, Morocco. It forms during the oxidation of lead ores in arid environments such as deserts. Samples are available in various sizes and supplied in a card tray with a data label.
Apatite mineral specimens from Madagascar, exhibiting an electric blue hue, these specimens have a crystalline texture and are in a massive form, minute occurrences of secondary minerals are present, they are available in small sizes and come in a white card tray or mag box with a data label.
Microscope slides of hornblende from Norway, these slides display the crystal structure of the mineral on a microscopic level which assists in the identification of this mineral in other slides. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size, supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy & educational use.

Apatite crystals found in Morocco with a green hue and a semi transparent appearance. These crystals very from 0.5 – 1.5cm and come supplied in a pack of 5 pieces. Specimens are supplied in a small polythene bag with a information label. Apatite is a phosphate mineral that has a vitreous lustre and a white streak but do not show good terminations. Its primary use is in the manufacture of fertiliser due it being a source of phosphorus. Apatite comes in a wide variety of colours and crystal habits, these samples are green in colour with a prismatic crystal habit. Supplied in a polythene bag with an information label.
Cretaceous sandstone thin section slide exhibiting the well sorted, fine and rounded nature of this arenaceous sandstone.The slides are 30 microns thick and measure 46 x 27 mm in size and have a cover slip of the section along with a protective cardboard sleeve.

Big feldspar gabbro thin section exhibiting exactly what its name describes, feldspar crystals much larger than those present in the ordinary gabbro which we supply. Characteristic twinning in the plagioclase and the bright colours of the pyroxene make for an attractive thin section, perfect for educational use.
We provide a full range of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic and mineral thin sections. Click here to view them. Should you require a microscope, they can be found here.

Rare eclogite thin section slides cut from our Norwegian eclogite hand specimens. Eclogite is a rare rock, composed of mainly two minerals, reddish-brown garnets and Omphacite (green pyroxene), our thin sections exhibit this clearly.

Obsidian, also known as ‘volcanic glass’ is a felsic, extrusive igneous rock. Crystal growth is minimal / absent within obsidian due to rapid solidification rates which inhibit crystal growth thus giving the rock a glassy appearance.

Purbeck Limestone thin section slide exhibiting densely pack shells of varying fauna. This rock is particularly interesting in thin section; numerous shells from varying organisms such as bivalves and gastropods along with numerous signs of mineral replacement and dissolution offers an opportunity to interpret the complex diagenetic history of the rock.

These thin sections exhibit beautiful crystals of olivine, pyroxene and augite, which often shows oscillatory zonation held within a matrix of plagioclase feldspar. The slides supplement the hand specimens nicely and are useful for interpreting the crystallisation history of the rock.

Hornfels thin section microscope slide exhibiting a dark colour and a characteristic none crystalline form. Fine grains fit together like the fragments of a mosaic, this is often referred to as rough pavement or pavement structure. Larger quartz clasts are visible but these have recrystallised to form a fine, interlocking mosaic of quartz within the original grain cast.

Garnet Mica Schist thin section exhibiting textbook strain fabric and alignment of platy minerals within this popular metamorphic rock.This schist is from the Dalradian series, a complicated group of various metamorphic rocks which are dated to the Pre-Cambrian period and is present in both Scotland and Ireland.

Pumice thin section slide exhibiting the highly vesicular nature of this extrusive igneous rock. Pumice lavas tend to be silicic or felsic which are highly viscous thus do not allow the gas bubbles to escape efficiently.This material was collected from the Lipari islands of Italy.
