Quartz monzonite is an intrusive igneous rock which is felsic in classification. It is suggested that monzonites have an equal proportion of the two major feldspar minerals, orthoclase and plagioclase and is generally a coarse grain texture rock. As the name suggests, quartz is also present in large quantities as well as dark minerals often associated with igneous activity such as biotite and hornblende. Similar in composition to granites, the levels of quartz differentiate this rock from the granitic group, where a rock has above 20% of quatrtz, it is classified as a granite, between 5% – 20% and it is classified as a monzonite. These particular rock specimens come from Ratagan, Glen Shiel, Scotland and is available in various sizes to choose from, each piece is supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Accretionary Lapilli Tuff £1.73 – £3.68 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

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.

These samples formed part of the Glen Coe caldera and are apart of the upper streaky andesite unit, the exhibit poor sorting and orientation of material which indicates a somewhat violent origin but this can vary from agglomerates by location and is mainly down to the chemistry of the igneous material. The samples are available in 3 sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a label, they are suitable for educational use to show the different types of volcanic rocks produced as well as those interested in collecting rock samples.

Amygdaloidal Basalt £1.73 – £3.46 ex VAT
Specimen Size
2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

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.
