Rock and Mineral Specimens and Collections
Eisco™ Gypsum Mineral Specimen
Gypsum Mineral Specimen ideal for use in study of cleavage and fracture as example of imperfect cleavage planes.
Eisco™ Graphite (Pure Carbon) Specimen
Graphite specimen correlates well to Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements.
Eisco™ Porphyritic Granite Specimen
Porphyritic Granite Specimen is a must-have sample when discussing rock types, rock cycle, formation, classification, and identification of igneous rocks.
Eisco™ Pegmatite Igneous Rock Specimen
Pegmatite is an igneous rock that contains two vastly different crystal sizes. This combination of both phaneritic and aphanitic crystals indicates this rock formed at two vastly different cooling rates.
Eisco™ Breccia Specimen
Breccia Specimen has large angular clasts, making it possible to confidently ascertain depositional history of the rock.
Eisco™ Scoria Specimen
Scoria forms when spatter from bubbly mafic lava cools quickly.
Eisco™ Sandstone Specimen
Sandstone Specimen is made up of well-sorted and well-rounded grains of quartz.
Eisco™ Raw Chlorite, Metamorphic Mineral Specimen - Approx. 3 Inch
Chlorite is a metamorphic mineral that has undergone light alteration. During metasomatism, phyllosilicate minerals may become hydrated and form chlorite.
Eisco™ Lodestone Mineral Specimen
A naturally magnetized mineral that creates its own magnetic field and can pick up small metal objects.
Eisco™ Dolostone Sedimentary Rock Specimen
Dolostone is a lithified form of dolomite. Composed primarily of carbonate material, dolostone is a more stalwart rock than its chemical cousin, limestone. It is often mined for construction and infrastructure purposes.
Eisco™ Dolomite Mineral Specimen
Dolomite is similar to calcite but includes magnesium in its chemistry, which makes it a more robust and stable mineral.
