Coarse White Marble Specimen (Metamorphic Rock), Pack of 12

Details

Here is the corrected text: Coarse White Marble Specimen Set of 12 Samples, 1" Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone through high-pressure, low-heat alteration, resulting in a massive crystalline rock that can form a variety of shapes. It has been heavily mined for use in buildings and furniture, and has traditionally been used in architecture as well. This set of 12 samples is great for geology classrooms, as marble will still effervesce in acid, making it useful in identification exercises. Though each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size, and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each specimen is selected and hand-processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are hand-processed in Victor, NY. Samples are packaged in transparent bags, labeled and barcoded for easy identification and storage. Technical support is always available; feel free to reach out to our team of scientists and geologists for additional information or assistance with any questions regarding our rock and mineral samples.
