Mineral Sets, Assortments, and
Reference Specimens
This section includes minerals intended for teaching or study; generally lower-priced, these specimens are ideal for beginners in the field of geology and mineralogy.
Please have a look at Microminerals and Micromounts as well; many of these are also ideal for teaching and beginning collectors.
For an explanation of abbreviations used, please see our guide to mineral sizes.
FLUORESCENT MINERALS - MINI-COLLECTIONS
We can custom-assemble fluorescent starter sets or mini-collections upon request, depending on what minerals we currently have in stock. Below is pictured a set that's already made. These 8-piece sets typically sell for $28.95, though price depends in part on what minerals are in the set. There are certain minerals that are so expensive even in small pieces that they cost more than $28.95 by themselves, although we can attempt to put together custom sets on request (availability of particular minerals may vary; please contact us).
Assortment - Fluorescent Mineral Set - Short-Wave Fluorescent Minerals. 8 fluorescent specimens.

Bustamite or calcian rhodonite w/ franklinite, calcite, and minor willemite - Franklin, NJ. Non-FL bustamite showing "silky" or striated fracture surfaces, good pink color.

Fossiliferous Sandstone - Brachiopods (mixed moulds and casts) stained with "Limonite" and Hematite - Pennsylvania. Matrix is a compact, gray, Ordovician or possibly Silurian sandstone. Fossils are not our specialty, so it's up to you to figure out what types of brachiopod are here (if we had to make a wild guess, Sowerbyella and/or Dalmanella). These are nice to look at with low magnification (no more than 5x).
