The igneous field data card contains information of igneous rock textures you will commonly find in the field as well as some of the more common igneous rocks such as basalts, granites, gabbros and more. IT displays a guide on how to determine a rock sample by observing it’s silica and texture content and offers data on the temperatures that lead to its formation. The card has been laminated so is waterproof and wont rip, making it ideal for students and also professional geologists, having a handy reference available at short notice, especially if you are about to partake in your field mapping projects.
(Please note: you only get a single card, the image merely displays what is printed on each side of the card)

Trachyte, a common igneous rock composed of various minerals including quartz, feldpsars, micas and olivine, rock specimens come from East Lothian, Scotland and are available in optional sizes, supplied in a card tray with a label.
Field scale card, completely waterproof, features 10 cm scale, 4 inch scale and 30 mm scale for use when taking photographs in the field.
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.
We also supply Garnet Peridotite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

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.
