Cannonball Limestone

Cannonball Limestone

£2.50 ex VAT

£2.38 – £6.37 ex VAT

Specimens of Salt Pseudomorphs on a limy matrix, collected from the Triassic Aust Cliff in Avon, UK. Salt Pseudomorphs serve as important inicators of paleoenvironmental conditions. They typically form in semi arid (dry) climates, where saline water evaporates, which leaves behind cubic salt crystals. These salt crystals later dissolve, occasionally preserving their cubic imprints These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

Rock Gypsum £2.25 – £3.50 ex VAT

Gypsum is composed of calcium sulphate dihydrate CaSO4·2H2O . the name is derived from the Greek “Gypsos” meaning “chalk or plaster” It forms as an evaporite deposit associated with sedimentary rocks. Gypsum is deposited from lake & sea water but also from hot springs associated with volcanic activity. Pure gypsum is normally white but impurities give it a variety of hues. It is mined extensively for the manufacture of plaster, plaster board, fertilizer & soil conditioner. This example is from the Triassic deposits of Nottinghamshire, U.K. Each specimen is supplied in a labelled card tray.

Red Marl
Marl (Red) £2.25 – £3.50 ex VAT

Specimens of Red Marl, collected from Westbury upon Severn in Gloucestershire, UK. Marl is a term that describes an unconsolidated sedimentary rock, that consists of clay and lime. This red marl is part of the Keuper Marls which dates to the early Triassic Mercia Mudstone group. It is a calcium carbonate rich mudstone which forms in Sahara-like desert conditions. The red colouration in these specimens comes from the presence of oxidised iron compounds. Specimens are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.

Biotite Muscovite Granite £2.25 – £6.00 ex VAT

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.

Amygdaloidal Basalt £2.25 – £6.00 ex VAT

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.

Puddingstone
Puddingstone Conglomerate £1.50 – £6.00 ex VAT

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.

Syenite – (Larvikite) £2.25 – £6.00 ex VAT

Larvikite is an igneous plutonic rock and variant of monzonite from Larvik, Norway, due to its chemistry, it is composed mainly of orthoclase, albite and anorthite along with plagioclase which gives the rock a blue to silver shimmering effect. The igneous pluton formed during the Permian period, 292 – 298 million years ago during the the Variscan orogeny. A beautiful rock to observe due to its coarse crystalline texture and schiller effect, the samples are ideal for general interest, collectors and educational use with specimens being available in three sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Graphic Granite
Graphic Granite £2.25 – £6.00 ex VAT

Graphic granite is an igneous pegmatite rock from Iveland, Norway, which forms in intrusive batholithic bodies that have a felsic composition. As such, the rock is mainly composed of quartz and orthoclase feldspar crystals and lacks any mica, making the rock leucocratic. These samples have what is known as a graphic texture, due to the formation of the crystals, which result in an appearance similar to that of cuneiform text which was once used by ancient human cultures. A brightly coloured, eye catching rock, the samples are suitable for collectors and educational use at higher levels and come available in three sizes. Each specimens is supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Snowflake Obsidian
Obsidian (Snowflake) £2.50 – £8.00 ex VAT

Snowflake obsidian is quite striking in appearance. It is characterised by the inclusion of radially clustered crystals of cristobalite, which when viewed at a glance, appear like snowflakes on the surface of the rock. These crystal clusters are set in an otherwise black vitreous matrix of obsidian, which is an naturally occurring volcanic glass, even exhibiting a conchoidal fracture. Cristobalite is a high temperature polymorph of silica, it can form as a result of the devitrification of the obsidian. These specimens come from Java, Indonesia and are supplied in card trays, sizes which are optional, each tray also has a small data label supplied.

We also supply Snowflake Obsidian thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Bytownite Basalt £2.25 – £6.00 ex VAT

Bytownite basalt ( Bytownite feldspar) is another variation of the common Basalt rock. Basalt tends to to be a dark, fine, crystalline igneous rock and has a number of different variations. Bytownite feldspar is a calcium rich member of the Plagioclase family. The mineral was first described in 1835 & named for Bytown (now Ottowa) where it was found in Canada. High quality transparent examples are used to make faceted stone in the jewelllery trade. In these examples the phenocrysts are green & opaque & set in a basalt matrix. The specimens come from Cumbria, UK and are supplied in a white card tray with a label.
