Flint, a variety of Chert, is a micro-crystalline, sedimentary rock of the silicate family and has a conchoidal fracture. The formation of flint is heavily believed to be strongly associated with the deposition of Chalk. Historically, flint has had many uses including being used as a way to start fires as well as being cut and sharpened to create weapons due to its hardness. Whilst flint can be found in a range of colours, this particular flint exhibits a monochromatic colour theme with a dark grey to black interior offset by a distinct white exterior. This flint was collected from South Devon, an area with a rich mining history. These specimens come provided in a card tray with an information label.

Garnet Peridotite £3.45 – £9.20 ex VAT
Specimen Size
1.5 " x 1.5"2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Garnet peridotite igneous rock specimens found in the Gusdal Olivine Pit, Åheim, Norway is an ultra mafic rock which contains high pressure and temperature minerals such as olivine and garnet crystals. Exhibiting a green colouraiton with striking red spots, these samples were pushed up to the earths crust during the Caledonian orogeny during the Ordovician and Devonian period over 400 million years ago. The specimens are dense as expected and are ideal for children and serious collectors because of the colourful appearance as well as for higher educational use to describe deep mantle material as well as orogenic processes.
