Description

For use in classroom activities to ascertain differences between metamorphic rocks and their provenance. EISCO Coarse White Marble Specimen (Metamorphic Rock) is formed from limestone. High-pressure, low-heat alteration leads to massive crystalline rock.

  • Though much denser than limestone, marble will still effervesce in acid, making it useful in identification exercises
  • Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
  • Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
  • Samples are packaged in a transparent bag, labeled and barcoded for easy identification
