Geological Background: Iceland Spar is a transparent variety of Calcite (CaCO₃) that is well known for exhibiting birefringence (double refraction)—a property where images appear doubled when viewed through the crystal. Historically sourced from Iceland, this crystal has been crucial in the development of optical instruments and was once used by Vikings as a navigation aid (Sunstone) due to its ability to polarise light.
Formed in hydrothermal and sedimentary environments, these crystals are typically found in cavities or fractures in limestone and dolomite.
