Specimens of wehrlite from Gusdal Olivine Pit, Åheim, Norway. Wehrlite is an ultramafic rock and a peridotite that contains primarily olivine and clinopyroxene (in this case chrome diopside), they may also contain non-essential minerals such as mangnetite, illmenite, chromite, garnet, etc. These samples contain rich red pyrope garnets and show visible inclusions of chrome diopside, this gives the pieces the beautiful contrast between red and greens which is typical for any garnet peridotite. These specimens are supplied in a white card tray with an information label and are a perfect addition to any rock collection.
