Geological and Mineral Slice's.
This page is dedicated to the selection of polished slice's and cut sections we were once producing, most of which will now be offered for sale, much of the material was brought to us by geologists, mineralogists and sometimes by the general public who came across an interesting rock in their travels. The cutting and polishing on the correct plane allowed the normally hidden minerals within to become easily visible.
