Hemimorphite is a hydrated zinc silicate mineral which is related to smithsonite, it is found in areas near zinc and lead deposits and as such, associated minerals include sphalerite and galena. It can vary from white to blue and green and often exhibits a botryoidal crystal habit. These particular mineral specimens were found in Dumfries in Scotland, they have a a slight botryoidal form and a muted green and blue hue. Though not as extravagant to observe as other high end samples, the locality in which this was found, with minerals from the British Isles becoming harder to obtain, makes these particular samples more sought after. They are available in two sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

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.
