Large Pink Gneiss rock specimens collected from Evje, Norway. Specimens also contain some Biotite and show banding. The majority of the rock is made up of orthoclase and quartz with little biotite thus giving the rock a black, pink and white banded appearance. Samples are supplied in a lots of 1 kg in a poly bag with an information label.

Biotite gneiss is a metamorphic rock found in Evje, Norway. These specimens exhibit alternating bands of black and white minerals, derived from quartz, plagioclase feldspar and biotite mica. Giving a surreal appearance, similar to the stripes of a zebra. The samples are available in various sizes and comes supplied in a card tray with a label.

Specimens of Puddingstone, collected from Hertfordshire, UK. Puddingstone is a variation of conglomerate, which is term used to describe a coarse grained sedimentary rock, featuring large, well rounded clasts in a finer grained matrix. It dates back to the Paleocene to Eocene period around 56 millions years ago. This particular rock is composed almost entirely of silica and has no porosity, likely contributing to its notorious hardness. This rare rock is only found in quantity at one locality in Hertfordshire. As such, it is becoming exceedingly difficult to obtain. This rock is available in multiple sizes and each piece comes supplied in a white card tray with information label.
Peridotite, found in Finland, is a dense, coarse grained igneous rock. It is commonly used in saunas due to certain porpertie. These rock specimens are ideal teaching aids or collectors specimens. Supplied in a card tray with label, offered in 3 optional sizes.
We also supply Peridotite thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Obsidian, also known as ‘volcanic glass’ is a felsic, extrusive igneous rock. Crystal growth is minimal / absent within obsidian due to rapid solidification rates which inhibit crystal growth thus giving the rock a glassy appearance.

Syenite thin section slide. The thin sections show a dominant feldspar mass ( orthoclase ) with occurrences of hornblende, amphibole and clinopyroxene. Biotite mica may also be present however its occurrence is rare, The thin section is supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy and educational purposes.

Pumice thin section slide exhibiting the highly vesicular nature of this extrusive igneous rock. Pumice lavas tend to be silicic or felsic which are highly viscous thus do not allow the gas bubbles to escape efficiently.This material was collected from the Lipari islands of Italy.
