Goethite crystals on Quartz. These beautiful, eye catching specimens exhibit typical white and transparent smoky quartz crystals along with protruding black goethite crystals which have a needle like accicular form with a vitreous lustre. The stark vibrant contrast of opposite colours of these two minerals will be sure to turn heads, it is often hard to obtain such fine goethite specimens, due to their fragile nature, however, the pockets which the geodes create during formation have proven to be the best environment, keeping the fragile needles protected. They samples come from Amerzgane, Ouarzazate, Morocco and we have various sizes available, each piece will come supplied in a card tray with an information label. Excellent quality specimens and very unique, these are a must have in any collection.

Calcite (Optical) – Iceland Spar £1.50 – £2.50 ex VAT

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.
