Raw Quartz Mineral Specimen, 1" - Geologist Selected Samples - Eisco Labs

• QUARTZ | One of the most abundant minerals on Earth. The tightly packed framework of silica tetrahedral that makes up this mineral gives it a high hardness of 7, a lack of cleavage planes, and a distinct euhedral crystal habit
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | A must-have mineral for any specimen collection. Quartz is useful during lessons on mineral hardness, luster, and fracture
• 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
• INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Quartz Specimen
Single Sample, 1"

One of the most abundant minerals on Earth. The tightly packed framework of silica tetrahedral that makes up this mineral gives it a high hardness of 7, a lack of cleavage planes, and a distinct euhedral crystal habit. Excellent for classroom mineral study and identification. A must-have mineral for any specimen collection. Quartz is useful during lessons on mineral hardness, luster, and fracture.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually 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.
