Metaquartzite thin section slide exhibiting a fine interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals characteristic of this metamorphic rock. Metaquartzite is a non foliated metamorphic rock associated with tectonic compression within orogenic belt. The original individual quartz grains recrystallize along with the former cementing material to form an interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals. Most or all of the original texture and sedimentary structures of the original sandstone are erased by the metamorphism. Minor amounts of former cementing materials, iron oxide, silica, carbonate and clay, often migrate during recrystallisation and metamorphosis. This causes streaks and lenses to form within the quartzite which may also be present in the thin section. This material was collected near Holyhead on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size with a cover slip. Supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy and educational purposes.

Metaquartzite is a low grade metamorphic rock often composed mainly of quartz, however, other minerals can exist, and mineral impurities during crystalisation can result in differing colours, these particular samples from Anglesey have a green colouration to them. The rock specimens are available in 3 different sizes and come in a card tray with a data label.
Old red sandstone microscope slide exhibiting the well sorted nature of this particular sediment. Excellent to observe the nature of the minerals and interpret the history of the rock. The glass slide is 46 x 27 mm in size, suitable for enthusiasts, educational use and more, it will come in card sleeve with a label.
