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.

Granodiorite specimens from Cumbria, UK. These rocks originate from the Ordovician era, dating back roughly 443 to 448 million years. This Granodiorite, derived from Eskdale granite outcrops, exhibit a coarse-grained texture and represents a blend of granite and diorite characteristics.. While sharing mineral components like quartz, feldspar, and mica with granites, its distinctiveness lies in the elevated levels of plagioclase and mafic minerals like biotite, hornblende, and augite. Notably, this specific Granodiorite variety boasts a significant biotite content. Available in three different sizes, these specimens come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
We also supply Granodiorite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

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. The hand samples are available in various sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Brockram Breccia specimens sourced from Hoff, Cumbria, UK. Breccia, a type of clastic sedimentary rock, is characterized by its coarse-grained and poorly sorted nature, containing large angular fragments embedded in a finer-grained matrix.
Brockram is a basal breccia, composed of cemented limestone and sandstone fragments originating from the Permian period. The Permian was the last period of the Paleozoic era and occurred approximately 299 – 251 million years ago.
These samples are available in various sizes and are presented in a white card tray along with accompanying information label.
Quartz monzonite igneous rock specimen from Ratagan, Scotland. Associated to granites, yet containing only 5% to 20% quartz, making it a monzonite, these intrusive felsice rocks are igneous in origin and are available in different sizes, supplied in a white card tray with a label.

Specimens of Basalt, collected from Northern Ireland. Basalt is a common, extrusive igneous rock, that forms when magma erupts and cools quickly on the Earth’s surface. These specimens are part of the Antrim lava group and date to the Tertiary period, around 60 million years ago. This is the same as the Basalt that makes up the famous Giant’s Causeway. The chemistry of these specimens suggests that the rock is olivine basalt, and comprises plagioclase feldspar, olivine and augite. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.
We also supply Basalt thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
