Olivine Mineral Specimen, Olivine Mineral Specimen for teaching students about mineral physical properties like hardness, fracture, and luster., Each

Details

Here is the corrected text: Raw Olivine Specimen - Single Sample, 1" Much of the Earth's surface is covered in oceanic crust, of which olivine is a major component. With the highest crystallization temperature, olivine is the first mineral to form in magma, making it a useful geothermometer. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification and classification exercises, this specimen is great for lessons on hardness, fracture, and luster. Its massive earthy habit is a perfect example of nonmetallic luster. While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size, and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled, and barcoded for easy identification and storage. Selected and Processed by a Geologist Each and every specimen is selected and hand-processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
