12 Pack - Raw Augite, Mineral Specimens - Approx. 1"
- AUGITE | A common rock-forming pyroxene mineral that forms as magma is cooling. It is an imperative sample for lessons on Bowen's reaction series
- GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Augite's perpendicular planes of cleavages make it an excellent tool for studying 2-plane, 90° cleavage. 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 | Set is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
