12 Pack - Raw Garnet Schist, Metamorphic Rock Specimens - Approx. 1"
- GARNET SCHIST | A metamorphic rock that has undergone moderate levels of alteration, schist is good for demonstrating the effect of metamorphism on various minerals
- GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Schist is also a great rock for demonstrating foliation, making it useful for lessons on metamorphic rock properties. 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 Rochester, NY
- INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
