Ulexite is an evaporite mineral which forms due to the evaporation of water leaving behind minerals in a certain location, similar to gypsum. Named after the German chemist Georg Ludwig Ulex (1811–1883) who first discovered the mineral, it forms with a silky white fibrous crystal habit which has the ability to transmit light along the longest axis.This gives ulexite the unique ability to transmit images through its self when viewed from above its longest axis, giving the appearance that what ever text or image you hold the specimen over, is contained within the mineral, similar to old CRT televisions. This ability makes the mineral attractive to young children as it gives then something more than to just look at, but to investigate its properties, hence its nickname of ‘tv rock’. These samples are cut, and although mostly clear, will contain some impurities, but this does not detract from viewing it. They come from California, USA and are available in several sizes, supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Calcite (Optical) – Iceland Spar £1.50 – £2.50 ex VAT

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.
