White Quartzite, Metamorphic Rock Specimen - Approx. 1"

SKU ESNG0074
  • WHITE QUARTZITE | Quartzite is formed from sandstone that has been tightly compressed to the point where the clasts have recrystallized to form a new rock. This formation mechanism, coupled the inherent strength of quartz, makes quartzite a very durable rock.
  • GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Useful in the classroom for lessons on metamorphic rocks. Ideal for identification & classification exercises
  • 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
