Ensure you have the essential tools to discover, log, and analyse field samples
Accurate geological data starts in the field. Every geologist must equip themselves with four essential tools: a geological hammer, hand lens, compass clinometer, and field notebook. Together, these allow for sample extraction, in detail field observations, precise dip and strike measuring, and the reliable recording of critical data and observations.
Hand samples are often among the earliest assets to obtain on a mineral exploration project. The data derived from these samples — and the locations from which they are taken — provide vital insight into the surrounding geological history.
Ensuring you have the right tools in the field allows for clean sample extraction and splitting, accurate navigation and structural measurements, and initial mineralogical observations. When combined with reliable field notebooks, this information can be recorded safely in all weather conditions and later reference back to when compiling reports and interpretations.
Featuring a design for, clean sample extraction, geological hammers allow you to break, split, and expose fresh rock surfaces with accuracy. This ensures samples remain representative and uncontaminated, supporting more reliable field observations and downstream analysis.
Hand lenses enable close-up inspection of mineral textures, grain structures, and crystal forms directly in the field. This allows geologists to make initial mineralogical assessments immediately, helping guide sampling decisions and improve on-site interpretation.
Compass clinometers provide accurate strike, dip, and orientation measurements essential for understanding geological structures. Reliable structural data improves mapping accuracy, supports modelling, and reduces the need for costly rework.
Field notebooks ensure observations, sketches, measurements, and sample references you record are clear and consistent — even in harsh conditions. Durable formats protect critical data from weather damage, loss, or smudging, preserving the integrity of your field records.
No two geological projects are the same. From remote terrains to harsh weather environments, your field tools must be reliable, durable, and fit for purpose. That’s why our range of geological field essentials is selected to support real-world exploration — not ideal conditions.
We supply premium quality, robust, geological hammers, hand lenses, compass clinometers, and notebooks designed for professional use. Each product is chosen for its accuracy, longevity, and practicality in demanding environments, helping you collect dependable data from the outset.
If your project has specific operational requirements, we can help you select the right tools for your workflows, team size, and working conditions.
