Your cart is empty. Raw Quartzite Specimen
Set of 12 Samples, 1"
Applying significant pressure to sandstone results in the formation of quartzite. The compaction of sandstone's sturdy silicate framework makes quartzite one of the most durable rocks on the planet. Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Because of its durable nature, quartzite is often used in paleoclimate studies to measure the extent and timing of glaciation.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Specimens are 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 Rochester, NY.

My artist wife is going to use them in an art canvas project. Good shimmer with light shined on them.

Exactly what I wanted and was very surprised at the size of each stone. These aren't pebbles- they are substantial ROCKS and there are plenty of them. A really great buy and with this you KNOW its real quartzite, no guessing.
