QUARTZ | One of the most abundant minerals on Earth. The tightly packed framework of silica tetrahedral that makes up this mineral gives it a high hardness of 7, a lack of cleavage planes, and a distinct euhedral crystal habit
GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | A must-have mineral for any specimen collection. Quartz is useful during lessons on mineral hardness, luster, and fracture. 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
INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
