Details

WHITE QUARTZITE | Quartzite is formed from sandstone that has been tightly compressed to the point where the clasts recrystallize to form a new rock. This formation mechanism, coupled with the inherent strength of quartz, makes quartzite a very durable rock. GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Useful in the classroom for lessons on metamorphic rocks, ideal for identification and classification exercises. This set of six samples is excellent for group study and examination. GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand-processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits its defining features. LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and processed in Victor, NY. LABELED PACKAGING | Samples are packaged in transparent bags, labeled and barcoded for easy identification.
