Raw Oligoclase, Mineral Specimen, ± 1"

• OLIGOCLASE | As a plagioclase feldspar, oligoclase is endlessly useful as a tool to teach mineralogy. With a standard hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, 2 planes of cleavage, and a characteristic nonmetallic luster, feldspar makes for a wonderful example of many mineral physical properties
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Excellent for any geology classroom - useful for learning about mineralogy or igneous petrology
• 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 Oligoclase Specimen
Single Sample, 1"

As a plagioclase feldspar, oligoclase is endlessly useful as a tool to teach mineralogy. With a standard hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, 2 planes of cleavage, and a characteristic nonmetallic luster, feldspar makes for a wonderful example of many mineral physical properties. Excellent for any geology classroom - useful for learning about mineralogy or igneous petrology.
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.
