Chert microscope slide exhibiting the interlocking crystals of quartz characteristic of this silica rich microcrystalline, cryptocrystalline sedimentary rock. The crystals are relatively large in this Foss Mine ( Scotland ) variety of chert and individual crystals of quartz can easily be distinguished in XPL view. Chert can occur as a primary deposit however it frequently occurs as a replacement mineral during diagenesis e.g. Flint nodules in Chalk. 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.
