- Augite is a common rock-forming pyroxene mineral that forms as magma is cooling. It is an imperative sample for lessons on Bowen's reaction series
- Augite's perpendicular planes of cleavages make it an excellent tool for studying 2-plane, 90° cleavage
- Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
- Sourced from a variety of locations around the world
- Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Pack of 12 samples.
