Peridotite Igneous Rock Hand Sample, Raw
A raw peridotite hand sample, about 3 inches long. This ultramafic igneous rock is rich in iron, and its chemistry points to an origin deep in the crust or even the mantle; its large crystals show slow cooling in a magma chamber. It suits identification and classification, comparison with other igneous rocks, Bowen's reaction series and lessons on rounding and sorting. Each piece is picked and hand-processed by a geologist to show defining features, and comes in a clear, labelled and barcoded bag. Shape, size and colour vary slightly.
