Biotite granite is a coarse grained igneous rock, usually consisting of quartz, feldspar and micas. In this case, the rock specimen consists of quartz, plagioclase feldspar and some biotite mica. These particular specimens are usually poor in their natural form, so instead have been cut and polished on one surface, thus allowing you to easily view the crystals with your naked eye. The specimens come from Spain and are available in 3 sizes, each piece will be supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Graphic granite is an igneous pegmatite rock from Iveland, Norway, which forms in intrusive batholithic bodies that have a felsic composition. As such, the rock is mainly composed of quartz and orthoclase feldspar crystals and lacks any mica, making the rock leucocratic. These samples have what is known as a graphic texture, due to the formation of the crystals, which result in an appearance similar to that of cuneiform text which was once used by ancient human cultures. A brightly coloured, eye catching rock, the samples are suitable for collectors and educational use at higher levels and come available in three sizes. Each specimens is supplied in a card tray with an information label.
