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.

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.
Quartz crystals from Madagascar, these mineral specimens are large in sizes, between 10 to 15 cm, as they are B grade, they are not completely transparent, but cloudy and they still show the termination of the points and crytsal system. Ideally suited for educational use if large numbers are required for students to observe.
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.
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.
Native copper ore mineral specimens from the famous Keweenaw copper deposits of Mitchigan, U.S.A. The specimens have a heavy red-orange metallic specimens with streaks of blue-green oxidation and a wiry crystal habit. Available in a range of sizes.
Sulphur mineral specimens (also spelt sulfur) from Bolivia, these fine crystalline masses give off a pungent odour as expected of this mineral and have a pale yellow colouration to them. They formed in volcanic zones and are excellent for the more serious collector. Available in one size only and supplied in a card tray with a data label.

Baryte mineral specimens, unusual samples collected from Foss mine in Scotland, they have a fine crystalline texture instead and are quite robust specimens. Pieces are off white in colour and may show a shimmer effect in certain lighting conditions. Available in various sizes, 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. 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.
Baryte (also spelt barite) is a widely occurring mineral consisting of barium sulphate, they can occur with many crystal habits, in this case, these mineral specimens exhibit the cockscomb mass form, in which randomly orientated blades of the mineral occur on a massive bed. These particular specimens are a pink or orange colour with a pink bed but other colours of baryte exists, including white, buff or brown. Any barite specimen is incredibly dense, with small pieces even feeling heavier than they appear, which is surprising, considering it is a non metallic mineral. This density was how the mineral obtained its name, being derived from the Greek word ‘βάρυζ’ meaning heavy. It occurs in a range of environments and deposited via many processes including biogenic, hydrothermal and evaporation, among others. Commonly occurring in lead-zinc veins hence some of the samples contain galena (lead sulphide) as well. Over 75% of baryte extracted worldwide is used for weighting driling fluids in oil and gas exploration to control high formation pressures and prevent blowouts. These mineral specimens were mined in Mibladen, Morocco, they are available in various sizes, each specimen is supplied in a labelled card tray.
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.
Chalcedony mineral specimens from Morocco, the pieces belong to the quartz family of minerals and is very similar to carnelian, even having a waxy lustre, although it tends to have a botryoidal crystal habit. The pieces are blue, white, red and orange and available in various sizes, supplied in a card tray with an information label.
Chalcopyrite mineral specimens from Sulitjelma, Norway, a major copper ore mineral, these pieces exhibit excellent quality chalcopyrite detailing the shiny brassy yellow colouration and metallic lustre expected. These mineral specimens are approximately 70% – 80% chalcopyrite and are available in various sizes and come supplied in card tray with an information label.
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.

Fulgerite mineral specimens from Algeria, formed from lightening strikes which pieces the desert sands instantly melting and fusing the quartz crystals creating a light weight hollow piece of rock.
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
