Fluorite octahedron crystals of varying colours from Illinois, USA. These individual crystals are available in various sizes and have been cleaved into these octahedron shapes which is done due to the fluorite minerals points of cleavage which allows it to ‘break’ in four directions. Despite this, they still exhibit, excellent, almost gem quality clarity with very minor inclusions. Such crystals from Illinois are now difficult to come by these days as the fluorspar mines in the areas have long since ceased operations, causing supply of crystals to be exhausted. The crystals are available in various colours, chosen at random. Available in three different sizes, they come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
Small: Approximately 1cm in length
Large: Approximately 2cm in length
All measurements taken at the widest points

elenite pencils are exquisite and captivating mineral formations that showcase the natural beauty of selenite, a form of gypsum. They exhibit a pristine translucence that allows light to pass through, creating a mesmerising glow when held to the light. Each selenite pencil measures approximately 14cm in height and 4cm in width whilst being smooth and well weighted. This makes them easy to hold whilst remaining promenant enough to stand out as a decorative piece. They all feature a flat, hexagonal base, making them easy to stand on a range of surfaces. Since these items are made from 100% natural selenite, it is common to expect some slight variance between each specimen, whether that be in shape, size or the occasional scratch. Despite this, these selenite pencils would make a great addition to any room, adding some flair and elegance.
