Peridotite Specimen (Igneous Rock), Pack of 12

Details

Here is the corrected text: Peridotite is an iron-rich ultramafic rock with a chemistry that suggests genesis from a point deep within the crust, possibly as deep as the mantle. The large crystals indicate slow cooling within a magma chamber. Great for geology classrooms, this fascinating sample is ideal for identification and classification exercises. It's useful for comparisons with other igneous rocks and as part of lessons in Bowen's reaction series. This set of six samples is excellent for group study and examination. Geologist selected: Each specimen is hand-selected and processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Locally processed: Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are hand-processed in Victor, NY. Individually packaged and labeled: Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag and is labeled and barcoded for easy identification. Raw Peridotite Specimen Set of 12 Samples, 1" Peridotite is an iron-rich ultramafic rock with a chemistry that suggests genesis from a point deep within the crust, possibly as deep as the mantle. The large crystals indicate slow cooling within a magma chamber. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification and classification exercises. This fascinating sample is useful for comparisons with other igneous rocks and as part of lessons in Bowen's reaction series. While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size, and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled, and barcoded for easy identification and storage. Selected and Processed by a Geologist: Each and every specimen is hand-selected and processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features.
