Banded rhyolite is simply a variation of rhyolite which has crystalised still showing the flow banding which would have been produced by the flowing action of the lava which resulted in forming the rock. These particular rock specimens of banded Rhyolite come from Glen Coe, Scotland. In banded igneous rocks the friction and viscosity of the magma causes phenocrysts and xenoliths within the magma or lava to slow down near the interface and become trapped in a viscous layer. This forms laminar flow, which manifests as a banded, streaky appearance. Available in 3 different sizes and supplied in a card tray with an information label.

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.
