Hornblende (Amphibole Mineral) Specimen, Hand Sample
A hornblende hand sample, about 3 inches. Hornblende belongs to the amphiboles, which resemble pyroxenes in chemistry and structure but hold water in their atomic structure. It shows two cleavage planes that are not at right angles, which makes it useful for studying igneous and metamorphic rocks, Bowen's reaction series and how minerals are identified. Sized for classroom identification labs and aligned with NGSS evidence statements; supplied in a clear, labelled, barcoded bag.
