Raw Serpentinite, Metamorphic Rock Specimen - Approx. 1" - Geologist Selected & Hand Processed - Great for Science Classrooms - Eisco Labs

• SERPENTINITE | When clay- and aluminum-rich rock is altered by water from geothermal systems, serpentinite is liable to form. Often found in low-grade metamorphic areas, serpentinite is composed of hydrated silicate minerals, particularly phyllosilicates
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Greenish in color and smooth to the touch, serpentinite is often found as a plane of weakness in faulted rocks. Excellent for lessons on metamorphic rocks, low-grade deformation, and structural geology
• 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 Serpentinite Specimen
Single Sample, 1"

When clay- and aluminum-rich rock is altered by water from geothermal systems, serpentinite is liable to form. Often found in low-grade metamorphic areas, serpentinite is composed of hydrated silicate minerals, particularly phyllosilicates. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification & classification exercises. Greenish in color and smooth to the touch, serpentinite is often found as a plane of weakness in faulted rocks. Excellent for lessons on metamorphic rocks, low-grade deformation, and structural geology.
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.
