PERIDOTITE | Peridotite is an iron-rich ultramafic rock, with a chemistry that suggests genesis from a point deep within the crust, possibly as deep as the mantle. The large crystals indicate slow cooling within a magma chamber GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. This fascinating sample is useful for comparisons with other igneous rocks, and as part of lessons in Bowen's reaction series 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 Raw Peridotite SpecimenSingle Hand Sample, 3"Peridotite is an iron-rich ultramafic rock, with a chemistry that suggests genesis from a point deep within the crust, possibly as deep as the mantle. The large crystals indicate slow cooling within a magma chamber. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification & classification exercises. This fascinating sample is useful for comparisons with other igneous rocks, and as part of lessons in Bowen's reaction series.While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 3" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.Selected & Processed by a Geologist.Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Rocks and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.Technical SupportAlways feel free to reach out to our team of scientists and geologists for additional information, or to assist you with any questions regarding our rock and mineral samples.
