Gifts for Geologists
Minerals and rock-formers, rendered atom by atom from their real crystal structures. A gift for anyone who has ever pocketed a rock on a walk.
Quartz
One of Earth's most abundant minerals — the crystal in your watch and your windowsill
The most abundant mineral in the crust, and the one every collection starts with.
Beryl
The mineral family that gives us emerald, aquamarine, and morganite
Emerald and aquamarine are the same beryl ring structure, just different traces.
Pyrite
The glittering iron sulfide crystal that fooled gold prospectors for centuries
Cubic crystals so perfect they look machined - nature showing off.
Topaz
A brilliant gemstone prized for its golden and blue hues
An aluminium silicate prized by gemmologists and mineralogists alike.
Zircon
The oldest mineral on Earth — crystals found in Australia are over 4 billion years old
The mineral that lets geologists read the age of the Earth itself.
Magnetite
Earth's most magnetic mineral — the original compass needle
The naturally magnetic spinel - lodestone, the original compass.
Turquoise
The sky-blue gemstone treasured by ancient Egyptians and Native Americans
A copper-aluminium phosphate with a structure as distinctive as its colour.
