    Greisen Slide
    Greisen Slide £18.00 ex VAT

    Greisen microscope thin section ideal for educational use. Greisen is a metamorphic rock, with specimens collected Caldbeck Fells, Cumbria, composed mainly of quartz and mica. Greisen is part of a group of rocks known as endoskarn. This process occurs when a granitic pluton releases heat and hydrothermal fluids as a later stage which results in a process known as greisenisation, altering the pre-existing granite already in place. The section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size with a cover slip. Supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy.
