The large crystals are indicative of a slow cooling rate, and make mineral identification simple. This classic igneous rock is a must-have sample when discussing rock types, the rock cycle, and the rock formation. Each specimen is selected and hand processed by a geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features. Set of 12 1inch samples.
