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.

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.

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.
We also supply Biotite Muscovite Granite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
