Beryl is a mineral that has long been used as a gemstone for use in jewellery and ornaments. It is found mainily in granitic pegmatites, igneous rhyolite deposits as well as mica schists. Perfect exmaples will form with flat bases and an hexagonal crystal form. Usually, pure beryl is transparent and clear, however, most specimens have some form of colouration due to impurities. It is an associated mineral of tungsten and tin deposits often being found alongside or near them. Although many will know this mineral for its gemstone use, it is has a major industrial use as well, it is the main ore for beryllium and as such has a wide range of industrial use from mechanical objects to magnetics, nuclear properties and in the aerospace industry. these particular crystal specimens come from Evje, Southern Norway, they have a green to yellow colouration and lack any major lustre but do have a somewhat easily defined crystal habit. They are available in 3 sizes, supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Iceland spar is a clear variation of calcite, it exhibits the rhombic crystal system of calcite perfectly, the crystals easily divide into rhombs, making them well sought after for a variety of reasons. Originally reported from Helgustadir Mine, Eskifjord, Iceland, hence its name. One of the most remarkable aspect of Iceland spar is its refractive properties. When light passes through one of the crystals, it is divided into two rays at different angles which results in a double refraction effect. Essentially, anything seen though the crystal is seen in double. This can best be seen if you place the calcite over some text, it will appear as if it has been printed twice. These mineral samples come from Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico and are available in 2 sizes: Upto 1″ and Over 1″. They come in a card tray with an information label.
