Grey granite found in Scotland, typically, granite is a coarse granite intrusive igneous rock and as with granites, it is composed of three main mineral constituents; quartz, feldspar and mica. In the case of these grey granite specimens, the quartz appears to be a slightly smokey colour and as quartz is the main composite mineral, along with the presence of biotite mica and plagioclase feldspar, these specimens of granite have a overall grey colouration to them. These specimens are available in 3 optional sizes and come in a sized card tray with an information label, suitable for collections and for use in education.

Graphic Granite
Graphic Granite £1.44 – £3.85 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Graphic granite is an igneous pegmatite rock from Iveland, Norway, which forms in intrusive batholithic bodies that have a felsic composition. As such, the rock is mainly composed of quartz and orthoclase feldspar crystals and lacks any mica, making the rock leucocratic. These samples have what is known as a graphic texture, due to the formation of the crystals, which result in an appearance similar to that of cuneiform text which was once used by ancient human cultures. A brightly coloured, eye catching rock, the samples are suitable for collectors and educational use at higher levels and come available in three sizes. Each specimens is supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Biotite Muscovite Granite £1.73 – £3.46 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Biotite muscovite granite specimens from St. Austell in Cornwall, UK of Permian age is a coarse grained igneous rock composed of quartz, plagioclase feldspar, biotite and muscovite. The rock is part of the St. Austell pluton which formed 280 million years ago. An off white colour with gold and black flecks of micas, the rock has a unique chemistry and resulted in the rich mineralisation of ores in the area. The samples are suitable for collectors and educational use to show granite variants, available in three sizes. Each piece will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Amygdaloidal Basalt £1.73 – £3.46 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

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.

Accretionary Lapilli Tuff £1.73 – £3.68 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Accretionary lapilli tuff is an igneous pyroclastic rock, these samples come from Longsleddle, Cumbria in the UK and forms when hot ash and debris is ejected from as volcano. Some of this material is held together by moisture and once heavy enough, falls into the ash below forming small ‘spots’ within the material, creating a speckled rock. The samples are suitable both for young and serious collectors as well as educational use and are supplied in various sizes with a card tray and label.

Syenite – (Larvikite) £1.73 – £5.64 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Larvikite is an igneous plutonic rock and variant of monzonite from Larvik, Norway, due to its chemistry, it is composed mainly of orthoclase, albite and anorthite along with plagioclase which gives the rock a blue to silver shimmering effect. The igneous pluton formed during the Permian period, 292 – 298 million years ago during the the Variscan orogeny. A beautiful rock to observe due to its coarse crystalline texture and schiller effect, the samples are ideal for general interest, collectors and educational use with specimens being available in three sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
