Hematite is a popular mineral with a long history in the development of modern industry. It is a deep red mineral which exhibits a botryoidal crystal habit, this makes it look ‘bubble’ on its surface, for this reason, it is sometimes also known as ‘kidney ore’. It has a deep red streak, as such, caution is advised when handling this specimens as it can easily stain anything it comes into contact with. Also present is a dull lustre although when cleaned it can appear shiny and metallic. Hematite is also the primary ore mineral for iron, a metal which has long since been used by humans to advance as a civilisation, and is still used today for obtaining iron and steel (when combined with corundum). for a variety of purposes. These particular samples were collected from Cumbria in the UK and are available in various sizes, they tend to show a mix of fibrous and botryiodal crystal form, each piece comes supplied in a card tray with an information label.

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. These mineral samples come from Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico and are available in 2 sizes: Upto 1″ and Over 1″. They come in a card tray with an information label.
