The Gabbros belong to a large group of mafic intrusive igneous rocks. Chemically very similar to basalt. Most of the Earth’s crust is underlain by Gabbro in the oceanic crust, produced by basaltic magmatism at mid ocean ridges. It is also associated with continental volcanism. Gabbro is dense, greenish or dark-colored and contains pyroxene, plagioclase, and minor amounts of amphibole and olivine. This particular example comes from the Balmedie quarry near Aberdeen, Scotland. Specimens are supplied in a polythene bag in lots of 1 kg with a label.

Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, these specimens exhibit a typical black colouration with conchoidal fractures, they come from South East Mexico and are excellent for educational use and collectors due to the quality. This igneous rock forms when magma extrudes onto the earths surface, chemically it is silica rich and impurities give the black colouration. It’s fine crystalline texture and fracture makes obsidian appear glassy and it breaks as such. The pieces are available in various sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
