12 Pack - White Quartzite, Metamorphic Rock Specimens - Approx. 1"

• WHITE QUARTZITE | Quartzite is formed from sandstone that has been tightly compressed to the point where the clasts have recrystallized to form a new rock. This formation mechanism, coupled the inherent strength of quartz, makes quartzite a very durable rock.
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Useful in the classroom for lessons on metamorphic rocks. Ideal for identification & classification exercises. This set of six samples is excellent for group study and examination
• GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
• LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
• LABELED PACKAGING | Samples are packaged in a transparent bag, labeled & barcoded for easy identification

White Quartzite Specimen
Set of 12 Samples, 1"

Quartzite is formed from sandstone that has been tightly compressed to the point where the clasts have recrystallized to form a new rock. This formation mechanism, coupled the inherent strength of quartz, makes quartzite a very durable rock. Useful in the classroom for lessons on metamorphic rocks. Ideal for identification & classification exercises.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Specimens are packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.

Selected & Processed by a Geologist.
Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Rocks and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
