Cleavage Collection
Cleavage Collection 
Cleavage is a readily recognizable property of some minerals and follows the internal crystal structure of that mineral. Terms used in a study of crystallography apply to the cleavage plans. 6 specimens approximately 1 1/2" x 1 1/2".

Cleavage is the tendency of minerals to break along preferred directions. Some minerals tend to have on direction of cleavage called pinacoidal cleavage. Some minerals cleave in two directions and this is referred to as prismatic cleavage. Minerals that have cleavage in three directions not at right angles have rhombohedral cleavage. If the cleavage is in three directions at right angles it is cubic cleavage. Cleavage in four directions is called octahedral cleavage.
1. Muscovite...Pinacoidal Cleavage
2. Feldspar....Prismatic Cleavage
3. Biotite.....Pinacoidal Cleavage
4. Spodumene...Prismatic Cleavage
5. Calcite.....Rhombohedral Cleavage

The Belomo 10x handlens is definitely a wonderful tool. A Hastings triplet design that is built like a Swiss bank vault. Optics are superb (razor sharp and bright) with a much wider field of view than my Bausch & Lomb 10x Hastings - which for entomology is a big plus! My collection of hand lenses is fairly large and I also use stereo microscopes for my work, but the Belomo can always be in your pocket ready to use anywhere and enjoy at any time. Its heirloom sturdiness will provide many years of visual pleasure. My first order got lost in the mail and the great folks at Amateur Geologist didn't bat an eye and sent another which was very kind, proving that they're definitely there to help their customers. My sincere thanks and appreciation goes out to them for their fabulous service and wonderful products.
