12 Pack - Zoolitic Limestone Sedimentary Rock Specimens - Approx. 1" ZOOLITIC LIMESTONE | Zoolitic limestone is a carbonate rock formed from the cementation of thousands of ooids. Ooids are tiny nodules formed from the accumulation of carbonate material around a nucleus. When cemented together and lithified, these ooids can form rock. GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Zoolitic limestone forms in reef or lagoon environments, and is useful in the classroom for lessons on depositional facies, sedimentary rocks, and stratigraphy. This set of six samples is excellent for group study and examination 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 LABELED PACKAGING | Samples are packaged in a transparent bag, labeled & barcoded for easy identification

FINE WHITE MARBLE | Formed from limestone, this high pressure, low heat alteration leads to a large crystalline rock. Heavily mined for architecture, marble is also used for buildings and furniture GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | While denser than limestone, marble is still effervesce in acid, making this metamorphic rock useful in identification activities. This set of twelve samples is excellent for group study and examination 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

CALCITE | Calcite is made up of calcium carbonate. It can grow into rocks, animal shells, chalk, & translucent, rhombic minerals GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Being one of just a few minerals that is effervesce in acid, Calcite is great for demonstrating chemical reactions. This universally useful mineral can also be used to demonstrate mineral hardness, light refraction and cleavage. This set of twelve samples is excellent for group study and examination 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

FLUORITE | Fluorite can be transparent or come in a variety of colors, such as purple, green & blue. Fluorite is a common mineral in both carbonate and hydrothermal rocks GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Fluorite is perfect for hands on lessons in hardness, as well as the fickle method of identifying minerals by color. An excellent example for lessons in cleavage, as it is one of the few minerals that has four perfect planes of cleavage.
