Andesite igneous rock specimens of late Ordovician age which form part of the Barrowdale volcanic group. The rocks come from Cumbria, UK and have a dark colouration with a blue tint and may contain augite crystals. The rocks are intermediate in chemistry and suitable for higher level education to explain the difference in various igneous groups. Samples are available in 3 sizes and will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
We also supply Andesite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
Biotite granite igneous rock specimens from Ballachulish, Scotland, UK. Composed of the felsic minerals quartz and feldspar, with occurrences of biotite crystals. The rock has an overall white appearance due to its felsic chemistry but the black biotite mica offers a striking contrast in colours. The samples are ideal for both collectors due to the attractive nature and for college to university level education to describe the variations in granite which one may find. The samples are available in three sizes and supplied in a card tray with an information label.

A small size acrylic magnifier box which is 2.5 x 2.5 cm in size, the box is made from tough, clear plastic and has a removable lid which has a x 4 magnification lens moulded into it, suitable for magnified viewing of plants, insects, gemstones, fossils and more.
Granodiorite specimens from Cumbria, UK. These rocks originate from the Ordovician era, dating back roughly 443 to 448 million years. This Granodiorite, derived from Eskdale granite outcrops, exhibit a coarse-grained texture and represents a blend of granite and diorite characteristics.. While sharing mineral components like quartz, feldspar, and mica with granites, its distinctiveness lies in the elevated levels of plagioclase and mafic minerals like biotite, hornblende, and augite. Notably, this specific Granodiorite variety boasts a significant biotite content. Available in three different sizes, these specimens come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
We also supply Granodiorite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
