Samples of Ironstone gathered from Breitung Mine located in Marquette County, Negaunee, Michigan, USA, showcase a rich hue of deep reddish-brown, occasionally presenting clear bands. It’s important to note though that not all pieces exhibit this banding feature. Comprising three iron-rich minerals—Hematite, Goethite, and Magnetite—this ironstone was frequently accompanied by quartz waste during its extraction. Dating back to 1844, the Breitung Mine holds historical significance, though it is no longer active. It was never a sizeable endeavour even during its operational phase however, featuring only a single recognised shaft. These rocks originate from the Paleoproterozoic era, dating back approximately 2.5 to 1.6 billion years. These specimens are only available in very limited quantities and are offered in three size variations, arriving in a white card tray accompanied by an informative label.

Alternatively, we offer a single large display piece measuring approximately 18cm x 15cm at its widest points. This showcased specimen features a distinctive botryoidal texture on its upper surface, adding an intriguing element to any collection.

Selenite Pencils
Selenite Pencils £9.99 ex VAT

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.

Massive Biotite Mica specimens, collected from Arendal, Norway. These specimens depict a “massive” crystal structure, as opposed to the more commonly seen sheets. Like all biotite mica, these specimens are dark in colour, exhibiting a dark grey to black hue. Mica is one of the most common mineral groups, with biotite being the most abundant member. Biotite is very common in igneous and metamorphic rocks, with the dark minerals in granites, pegmatites and gneiss often being due in some part to the presence of this black mica.
