12 Pack - Raw Quartzite, Metamorphic Rock Specimens, ± 1" Each

• QUARTZITE | Applying significant pressure to sandstone results in the formation of quartzite. The compaction of sandstone's sturdy silicate framework makes quartzite one of the most durable rocks on the planet
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Because of its durable nature, quartzite is often used in paleoclimate studies to measure the extent and timing of glaciation. 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 Rochester, NY
• LABELED PACKAGING | Samples are packaged in a transparent bag, labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Quartzite Specimen
Set of 12 Samples, 1"

Applying significant pressure to sandstone results in the formation of quartzite. The compaction of sandstone's sturdy silicate framework makes quartzite one of the most durable rocks on the planet. Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Because of its durable nature, quartzite is often used in paleoclimate studies to measure the extent and timing of glaciation.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Specimens are 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 Rochester, NY.
