Milky quartz mineral specimens from Norway, with a pale white colouration, hence the name, sometimes also known as white quartz, snow quartz or simply quartz. These particular samples were collected by staff from Iveland, Norway. This locality is also where we collected the smokey quartz from. It is in a massive form and has a very fine crystalline texture, this also results in it sometimes being sharp, so caution is advised when handling these samples. It is available in various sizes and supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Smokey quartz mineral specimens collected from Iveland, Norway, these highly crystalline samples are a dark grey colour and may have sharp edges, caution is advised. The colour is due to natural irradiation during the formation process, samples are available in various sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a data label.
Rutilated quartz is a variation of quartz which contains thin fibrous rutile crystals within it, often randomly orientated. Rutiles are a titanium mineral, dense and black, it is a common accessory mineral in high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic rocks and in igneous rocks but found in very few locations around the world. These mineral specimens are of a dull, sometimes yellow coloured quartz which contain the rutile crystals.Where as most minerals devalue when they contain impurities or inclusions, rutilated quartz is in fact often prized for this very reason. These samples are available various sizes and will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Rose quartz is a well know variation of quartz, easily identifiable due to its rose pink colouration, these fine crystalline mineral specimens are ideal as gifts, collectors, enthusiast and for use in education. These samples come from Namibia, Africa and the colour is due to iron impurities during the time that the quartz was forming, which tends to be a hydrothermal mineral and forms in veins. These specimens are very crystalline and may have sharp edges, care is advise when handling. They can be supplied in a range of sizes and supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Natural quartz geodes or nodules found in the Sahara desert, Morocco. These geodes are all lined with sparkling white minute quartz crystals which if set against a dark backdrop, shine brightly. Geodes form as bubbles of gas within magma (the term for lava when the molten rock is still underground). Because of the temperatures difference bwteen the magma and the pocket of gas, the crystals form slower, crystals which form slower tend to form in larger sizes and so with a geode, you have an outside which is made up of very fined grained crystals, too small to see and the inside, which is full of larger crystals. These geodes are slowly becoming harder to obtain as the collectors struggle to get to the site which is littered with old exposive mines from a previous war and when the geodes were stock-piled puff adders set – up home amongst them. These specimens are available in various sizes as geode fragments and come supplied in a card tray with information label.
Stunning red quartz (Hematoide) over a calcite matrix collected from Jebel Saghro in Morocco. This unique variety of quartz owes its red colour to very fine hematite inclusions which have become incorporated into the quartz mass. Naturally the intensity of the red varies in these specimens dependent on the purity of the quartz; some samples exhibit a paler red while others exhibit a deep red colour. Available in two sizes, each specimen is supplied in a card tray with an information label.
gypsum satin spar with an orange colouration, found in Morocco, these mineral specimens exhibit excellent fibrous texture and a silky lustre, along with the unusual orange colour, makes these particular samples very sought after simply just for their unique appearance. Available in 2″ x 2″ size pieces only and supplied in a card tray with a label.
Specimens of white coloured Plagioclase Feldspar also known as a Albite-Anorthite Series mineral. The specimens come from Osedalen, Southern Norway and are supplied in a 2″x2″ 3″x2″ 4″x3″ card tray with an information label.
Orthocalse feldspar mineral specimens from Evje, Norway. It exhibits a pale pink, white or pale grey colouration with excellent cleavage planes with rhombic crystal forms, a common mineral found in granites and rhyolites, orthoclase belongs to the feldspar family of minerals and can be found all over the world. Specimens are available in various sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Specular Hematite, also known as specularite is a variation of haematite which has a silver or black colouration and metallic lustre which gives the crystals a sparkling appearance. These particular specimens are of specularite crystals with an anhedral form on a massive haematite matrix. These specimens display veins of specularite within a matrix of massive haematite. They come from Cumbria, UK and are available in various sizes, each sample comes supplied in a card tray with an information label. They would be of particular interest to those who are particular keen on collecting British mineral specimens.
Massive specular hematite from Brazil, black colouration and metallic lustre which gives the crystals a sparkling appearance. These particular specimens are of specularite crystals in a massive form, therefore the samples have a highly crystalline texture. They come from Brazil and give off a metallic shimmer when held under certain lighting. Available in various sizes and supplied in card tray with an information label.
Tektite mineral specimens which were collected from Thailand, and have formed an irregular ‘tear drop’ shape. Each specimen measures 10 – 20mm approx in size. Radiometric dating gives an approximate age of 700,000 years old. Specimens are irregular in shape and are mainly black & opaque with a glassy lustre on fractured surfaces.
Pyrite on Rhaetic Bone Bed collected from Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire. Of our specimens it is the pyrite crystal bed which is the key feature, some specimens may exhibit bones or scales but naturally this is no guarantee

Cleavelandite is a variety of the mineral albite, one of the constituent minerals of plagioclase feldspar, thus is found in areas where pegmatites and granites exists in certain localities around the world. These particular specimens come from Evje, in Southern Norway and as expected, has a pale green colouration to it. As with albite, cleavelandite also exhibits a triclinic crystal habit and has a hardness of 6- 7 on the Moh’s scale of hardness, it is usually found within cavities of other rocks or minerals. It as named in 1823 by Henry J. Brooke in honor of Parker Cleaveland , professor of geology and mineralogy at Bowdoin College in Maine. Our mineral specimens are massive in form with occasional accessory such as smokey quartz or plagioclase or orthoclase feldspar. The specimens were collected by our own staff from Evje and are available in a range of sizes. Each specimen is supplied in a labelled card tray.
Halite mineral specimens from the Boulby mine in Redcar, North Yorkshire, UK. Halite is a salt mineral and has a cubic crystal system and vitreous lustre, these specimens are rough and available in various sizes, suitable for educational use, supplied in a card tray with a label.

Galena with massive baryte from Morocco, showing the two contrasting colours of the off white baryte and metallic blue galena mineral specimens together, both are quite dense yet extremely fragile, these samples were collected from Morocco and available in 3 sizes.
Chalcopyrite mineral samples from Morocco, exhibiting typical yellow brassy colour with a metallic lustre. Lower grade when compared to our Norwegian stock but also includes occurrences of bornite which is a blue colour. Samples are available in 3 sizes, each supplied in a labelled card tray.

Cut ulexite mineral specimens from California, USA. A mineral similar to gypsum, ulexite is able to transmit light through its long axis, meaning if placed above an image or text, will transmit it to the samples surface as an image. Hence the name TV rock, excellent for children, these pieces are available in several sizes and will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
