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.

Introducing an outstanding triplet hand lens with a remarkable x 10 magnification and a wide 21 mm viewing field. This loupe enables detailed examination of specific areas within a sample. Crafted using three precision-ground glass elements (triplet optics), it delivers exceptionally clear vision. Additionally, this model features both LED and UV lighting options, making it an ideal tool for geologists and entomologists. In particular, for ex the fluorescent properties of minerals, crystals, and insects.
The lighting system consists of a ring of six bright white LEDs that enhance the visibility of your chosen sample. The single UV LED emits longwave fluorescence, causing many materials to emit a glowing effect in the dark.
Encased in durable plastic housing that seamlessly integrates with a stainless steel body, this loupe is powered by three LR297 button batteries (included). It comes with a key for easy battery replacement, and a leather case for added convenience. This versatile lens is an indispensable tool across various professions including geology, sedimentology, mineralogy, entomology, botany, jewelry making, gem cutting, and more
Introducing the GEO Premier, an authentic triplet hand lens crafted from top-grade triplet optical glass.
