- Granite forms slowly in shallow or evolved magma chambers, and is also commonly found as magmatic intrusions in the crust. The large crystals are indicative of a slow cooling rate, and make mineral identification simple
- A must-have sample when discussing rock types, the rock cycle, and the formation, classification, and identification of igneous rocks. This set of twelve samples is excellent for group study and examination
- 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
Granite forms slowly in shallow or evolved magma chambers, and is also commonly found as magmatic intrusions in the crust. The large crystals are indicative of a slow cooling rate, and make mineral identification simple. Excellent for classroom mineral study and identification. A must-have sample when discussing rock types, the rock cycle, and the formation, classification, and identification of igneous rocks.
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.
