Augite andesite is a variant of the fine grained igneous rock, andesite which contains coarse grained phenocrysts of augite crystals. An extrusive rock of intermediate composition, containing between 50 to 63% of silica, the samples have a dark colour with a blue tint while the augite crystals provide a speckled black appearance. The rock is estimated to have formed during the late Ordovician period and forms part of the Barrowdale volcanic group with other rocks such as dacite and basalt also being present in the area as part of a pre-caldera formation. The rock is slightly denser than our regular line of andesite due to the added pyroxene crystals of augite as phenocrysts. Ideal for established collections and higher level education to exhibit the presence of phenocrysts in igneous material, the rock samples come from Thirlmere, Cumbria, UK and are available in 3 sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a label.

We also supply Augite Andesite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Amygdaloidal Basalt £2.25 – £6.00 ex VAT

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.
