12PK Raw Scoria Specimen, 1" - Geologist Selected Samples - Eisco Labs

• SCORIA | Scoria forms as spatter from bubbly, mafic lava is thrown into the air and cooled quickly. The crystallization happens so quickly that large air pockets are trapped within the rock, often giving samples a jagged, sharp appearance
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | A good example of pyroclastic material. Can be used in a variety of igneous classification exercises. This set of twelve 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
• INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Scoria Specimen
Set of 12 Samples, 1"

Scoria forms as spatter from bubbly, mafic lava is thrown into the air and cooled quickly. The crystallization happens so quickly that large air pockets are trapped within the rock, often giving samples a jagged, sharp appearance. Excellent for classroom mineral study and identification. A good example of pyroclastic material. Can be used in a variety of igneous classification exercises.
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.
