Raw Gabbro Igneous Rock Specimen, 1" - Geologist Selected Samples - Eisco Labs

• GABBRO | Gabbro is formed within magma chambers, deep within the earth. The chambers hold iron-rich rock melt, too heavy to reach the surface. As the melt cools, olivine and plagioclase feldspar forms
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | A great example of phaneritic mafic rock. Useful for exercises in identification and classification of igneous rocks
• 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 Gabbro Specimen
Single Sample, 1"

Gabbro is formed within magma chambers, deep within the earth. The chambers hold iron-rich rock melt, too heavy to reach the surface. As the melt cools, olivine and plagioclase feldspar forms. A great example of phaneritic mafic rock. Useful for exercises in identification and classification of igneous rocks.
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.
