Specimens of amygdaloidal lava with chlorite amygdales (trap rock) found in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Specimens are supplied in a white card tray with a information label. Chlorite is a group of mainly monoclinic micaceous phyllosilicate minerals and are commonly found in igneous rocks, It is easily identifiable due to their vibrant blue colour, especially when against a dark coloured crystalline matrix such as here on the basalt which is dark brown. Specimens are available in multiple sizes and will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

This popular granite is very sought after for a variety of applications and has a colourful appearance. It is believed to have formed during the early Devonian period as a plutonic intrusion in the area and is quarried extensively. Samples are ideal for collectors of all levels and ages as well as all educational levels as the minerals can be easily described with the origin and processes being suitable to teach higher level students.

Amygdaloidal Basalt £1.73 – £3.46 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Amygdaloidal basalt is an igneous rock which is extrusive in nature, these specimens formed over 60 million years ago during the Tertiary period and come from Ireland. They are part of the Antrim lava group and exhibit a dark colouration with occurrences of amygdales containing quartz and calcite crystals. As a basalt they are somewhat dense, but lighter than pure samples due to the cavities within them which formed as a result of gaseous activity during their ejection. Over time, hydrothermal fluids pass through the rock and minerals form within the cavities, which gives the usually dark coloured rock a speckled appearance. These samples are available in various sizes and are suitable for higher educational use to detail the subtle differences between similar igneous rocks, they come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
