Collection of 15 Igneous Rocks
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4351
The Collection of 15 Igneous Rocks (SKU JA-ERAM-4351) is a set of 15 igneous rock specimens for studying rocks that form when magma or lava cools and solidifies. It includes intrusive (plutonic) rocks that crystallise below the surface and extrusive (volcanic) rocks formed at the surface, so students can compare coarse-grained with fine-grained and glassy textures. JaincoLab supplies this igneous rock collection to schools and colleges for geography, geology and earth science lessons.
Specifications
The collection contains 15 igneous rock specimens; the listing names andesite, basalt, granite, gabbro, obsidian, pegmatite, pumice and rhyolite among them, and the remaining specimens, specimen size and box are confirmed on the quotation.
