German Eclogite specimens from Weissenstein, Bavaria. Eclogite, a captivating metamorphic rock, showcases garnet crystals encased within a matrix of sodium-rich plagioclase feldspar, known as omphacite. The contrast between the red garnets and the green matrix makes this eclogite unique and visually appealing.

Notably, our German eclogite displays a darker hue compared to our Norwegian material. Apart from its aesthetic allure, this eclogite holds significant educational value. It forms at much higher pressures than typical crustal rocks, offering an intriguing perspective for learning. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in Earth’s solid-state convection process.

Our German eclogite specimens are available in various sizes and come packaged in white card trays, complete with an information label. Due to limited stock availability, don’t miss the opportunity to add this specimen to your collection.

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.
