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.

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.

Augite andesite igneous rock specimens from Thirlmere, Cumbria, UK which are of late Ordovician age which form part of the Barrowdale volcanic group. The samples are of intermediate composition and contain phenocrysts of the pyroxene mineral, augite, giving the normally dark blue rock a black speckled appearance. The samples are available in 3 sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a label.
We also supply Augite Andesite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

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.

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.
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 Estwing E6-24PC geological hammer, also known as the ‘Big Blue’ hammer is a pointed tip strike tool which features a wider flat face, delivering more force per strike, making breaking and crushing of rock much easier. It also features a pointed tip, suitable for picking and prying material as well as allowing careful extraction of fossils or crystals from matrix. The hammer is made from a single piece of drop forged American steel and utilises a anti shock vinyl handle for comfort.

Specimens of Basalt, collected from Northern Ireland. Basalt is a common, extrusive igneous rock, that forms when magma erupts and cools quickly on the Earth’s surface. These specimens are part of the Antrim lava group and date to the Tertiary period, around 60 million years ago. This is the same as the Basalt that makes up the famous Giant’s Causeway. The chemistry of these specimens suggests that the rock is olivine basalt, and comprises plagioclase feldspar, olivine and augite. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.
We also supply Basalt thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
