The Munsell Rock Chart provides a convenient method for identifying rocks or layers of rocks in the field based solely on their colours. This system enables geologists and archaeologists to efficiently narrow down samples and rock formations using color as a communication tool. The guide contains 115 Munsell notations, each represented by a specific color. This is achieved through a cross-reference between ISCC-NBS colour names and Munsell’s well-known alphanumeric colour system.
Included in the colour notations are various hues such as 5R, 10R, 5YR, 10YR, 5Y, 10Y, 5GY, 10GY, 5G, 10G, 5BG, 5B, 5PB, 5P, 5RP, 5YR, 5Y, 5GY, 5G, 5B, as well as nine neutral grey tones. These notations are presented on durable, waterproof, and washable cards, a crucial feature for fieldwork when weather conditions are unpredictable. Moreover, this guide allows you to grind rock and aggregate samples into grit directly in the field. The resulting material can be spread across the pages either in a dry or wet state, facilitating a direct comparison between the rock’s color and the guide’s colors. This enhances the accuracy and ease of rock identification.
Contained within a compact ring binder, the Munsell Rock Colour Guide permits easy removal and replacement of pages as needed, making it suitable for a range of field and laboratory applications. It proves indispensable for professionals such as geologists, archaeologists, geotechnical engineers, students, and academics who require precise rock color identification in their work.

Andesite igneous rock specimens of late Ordovician age which form part of the Barrowdale volcanic group. The rocks come from Cumbria, UK and have a dark colouration with a blue tint and may contain augite crystals. The rocks are intermediate in chemistry and suitable for higher level education to explain the difference in various igneous groups. Samples are available in 3 sizes and will come supplied in a card tray with an information label.
We also supply Andesite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
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.
Specimens of Flint, collected from South Devon in the UK. Flint, a variety of Chert, is a micro crystalline, sedimentary rock. It is part of the silicate family and has a conchoidal fracture. These specimens display a monochromatic black interior, offset by a distinct white exterior. These specimens are available in various sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.
The metamorphic rock texture card is made for earth science students, it displays numerous bites of information on how to determine an metamorphic rock specimen found in the field via their observable features. The cards have been laminated, making them waterproof, small, the size of a bank card and an excellent to hand guide for students, amateurs and professionals.
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.
