Microscope slides of tourmaline from Brazil, these slides display the crystal structure of the mineral on a microscopic level which assists in the identification of this mineral in other slides. Tourmaline is crystalline mineral which is also classified as a semi precious stone due to the various colours it can be found in and the often high quality of their crystals. It is a boron silicate compound which usually appears jet black in colour and is known to exhibit pyroelectric properties because it was found to attract hot ashes. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size, supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy & educational use.

Lignite thin section slide. Lignite coal and indeed all other varieties of coal are classed as organic sedimentary rocks. It has a high carbon content 25 – 35% & a moisture content up to 66%. The high volatile component of lignite is clearly reflected in the thin section view, particularly when compared with those of higher grade coals.

Purbeck Limestone thin section slide exhibiting densely pack shells of varying fauna. This rock is particularly interesting in thin section; numerous shells from varying organisms such as bivalves and gastropods along with numerous signs of mineral replacement and dissolution offers an opportunity to interpret the complex diagenetic history of the rock.
