Greenschist thin section microscope slides from North Wales exhibiting the minerals that give this rock its green colouration, serpentine and chlorite. The thin sections also display platy minerals such as muscovite mica. Greenschist is a metamorphic rock which are often produced in low temperature and pressure environments by regional metamorphism. The colouration is due to the high content of green mineral present in the rock, such as chlorite, serpentine, and epidote where as minerals such as muscovite mica give the rock its foliation. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm, ideal for microscopy and educational purposes.

Oolitic limestone thin section slide exhibiting textbook ooid grains, some with a clear nucleus and concentric calcareous layers. These microscope slides supplement the hand specimens nicely and allow for a more detailed view of the ooid grains and an opportunity to intepret the diagenetic history of the rock.

Microgranite thin section slide exhibiting the medium grained nature of this intrusive igneous rock. The crystals in microgranite are smaller than those of normal granite indicating that it cooled at a quicker rate.
We provide a full range of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic and mineral thin sections. Click here to view them. Should you require a microscope, they can be found here.
