German Eclogite specimens from Weissenstein, Bavaria. Eclogite, a captivating metamorphic rock, showcases garnet crystals encased within a matrix of sodium-rich plagioclase feldspar, known as omphacite. The contrast between the red garnets and the green matrix makes this eclogite unique and visually appealing.
Notably, our German eclogite displays a darker hue compared to our Norwegian material. Apart from its aesthetic allure, this eclogite holds significant educational value. It forms at much higher pressures than typical crustal rocks, offering an intriguing perspective for learning. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in Earth’s solid-state convection process.
Our German eclogite specimens are available in various sizes and come packaged in white card trays, complete with an information label. Due to limited stock availability, don’t miss the opportunity to add this specimen to your collection.

The Ruper hand lens is a renowned magnifier loupe favored by professionals and long-time enthusiasts across various industries. This specific jewelry loupe provides 10x magnification along with a spacious 20mm viewing field, helping reduce eye strain. It also allows users to examine a wide area at once. This Ruper model delivers exceptional clarity in vision thanks to its doublet design with aplantic optics. This means it utilises a combination of concave and convex optical glass to minimize the effects of spherical aberrations.
It’s worth emphasising that Ruper lenses are indeed doublets, despite common misconceptions and sellers’ claims of them being triplets. Their crafting process uses exclusively two optical lenses and a spacer. The lens comes in a stainless steel body with a chrome finish, displaying the ‘Ruper’ name on one side. Another premium magnifier and loupe from this esteemed Japanese brand, it proves invaluable for professionals and enthusiasts in fields like geology, crystallography, and sedimentology for enhanced viewing of rocks, minerals, fossils, and crystals. Additionally, it aids in botanical observations, entomological studies for detailed insect examination, as well as jewelry-making, faceting, and gemstone scrutiny, among other applications where magnification is essential. It comes with a faux leather case. Made in Japan.
The igneous rock texture card is made for earth science students, it displays numerous bites of information on how to determine an igneous specimen found in the field such as grain size, silica and mineral content and other observable features. The cards have been laminated, making them waterproof, small, the size of a bank card and an excellent to hand guide for students, amateurs and professionals.

Specimens of Basalt, collected from Northern Ireland. Basalt is a common, extrusive igneous rock, that forms when magma erupts and cools quickly on the Earth’s surface. These specimens are part of the Antrim lava group and date to the Tertiary period, around 60 million years ago. This is the same as the Basalt that makes up the famous Giant’s Causeway. The chemistry of these specimens suggests that the rock is olivine basalt, and comprises plagioclase feldspar, olivine and augite. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.
We also supply Basalt thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Biotite muscovite granite specimens from St. Austell in Cornwall, UK of Permian age is a coarse grained igneous rock composed of quartz, plagioclase feldspar, biotite and muscovite. The rock is part of the St. Austell pluton which formed 280 million years ago. An off white colour with gold and black flecks of micas, the rock has a unique chemistry and resulted in the rich mineralisation of ores in the area. The samples are suitable for collectors and educational use to show granite variants, available in three sizes. Each piece will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Accretionary lapilli tuff is an igneous pyroclastic rock, these samples come from Longsleddle, Cumbria in the UK and forms when hot ash and debris is ejected from as volcano. Some of this material is held together by moisture and once heavy enough, falls into the ash below forming small ‘spots’ within the material, creating a speckled rock.
