Mineral Sets, Assortments, &
Reference Specimens
Mineral Sets - these more or less materialize from whatever loose specimens happen to be sitting around in boxes at the moment (if any). What appears on this page is what we have available at the moment. If there's something you're looking for, though, give us a call (phone # is at top of page).We also use this page to house lower-priced individual specimens that are good for teaching and/or learning geology and mineralogy.
For an explanation of abbreviations used, please see our guide to mineral sizes.

Fossiliferous Sandstone - Brachiopods (mixed moulds and casts) stained with "Limonite" and Hematite - Pennsylvania. Matrix is a compact, gray, Ordovician or possibly Silurian sandstone.
