Microscope slides of Calcite from Morocco, these slides display the crystal structure of the mineral on a microscopic level which assists in the identification of this mineral in other slides.bCalcite is one of the polymorphs of calcium carbonate, the others being aragonite and vaterite. Calcite is one of the index minerals in the Mohs scale at number 3, as it is a fairly soft mineral, able to be scratched by your finger nail. 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.

Honey Calcite £2.45 – £5.11 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Honey calcite mineral specimens from Mexico which exhibit a yellow to orange colouration due to impurities of iron from the mineral hematite. The specimens are crystalline in nature and can exhibit a rough rhombic form as expected of calcites. They are translucent, letting some but not all light through, which gives them an eye catching ‘glow’. The samples are ideal for enthusiasts, hobbyists and collectors and are available in various sizes. Each piece will come supplied in a card tray with a label.

Orange Calcite £2.45 – £5.11 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Orange calcite mineral specimens from Mexico, exhibiting a rich orange colour and crystalline texture, this soft mineral hovers at 3 on the Mohs scale of hardness. The colouration is due to the inclusion of hematite, an iron mineral (well known for being deep red) which in certain quantities, will give calcite the orange appearance. It is ideal for enthusiasts and collectors due to its striking colour but also for educational use to exhibit how calcite crystals can vary as well as colour and to enforce to students how mineral impurities can lead to said colouration. We have various sizes of this mineral available, each piece will come supplies in a card tray with an information label.
