Zircon crystals showing partial tetragonal crystal habits from Brazil, they exhibit a vitreous lustre and have a brown colouration. Zircon is a common accessory mineral found at the earths crust, generally in igneous and metamorphic rocks or as minute grains within sedimentary rocks. It is a mineral which is very resistant to heat and erosion leading to its common occurrence on the earths surface.Although it can be found in many colours, with gem quality specimens being translucent, these particular specimens are a brown colour yet still have a vitreous lustre to them, making them glean in the light. The mineral has many uses in industry, including the casting of nuclear fuel rods, fuel converters and of course in jewellery (zirconia). These particular specimens from Brazil also have fluorescent properties, when exposed to shortwave UV light, they fluoresce a vivid yellow colour. Making these mineral samples suitable for educational use and for collectors, they range in size between 1 to 2 cm and will come supplied in a polythene bag with an information label.

Baryte mineral specimens collected form Somerset in the UK, exhibiting a bladed crystal habit or massive form, the dense specimens are an off white, yellow or brown colour due to staining from hematite (iron ore), available in various sizes, ideal for educational use.
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.
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.

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.
