EISCO Peridotite Specimen (Igneous Rock), Approx. 1" (3cm) - Pack of 12
Brand: EISCO
Peridotite is an iron-rich ultramafic rock, with a chemistry that suggests genesis from a point deep within the crust, possibly as deep as the mantle. The large crystals indicate slow cooling within a magma chamber. This fascinating sample makes for a useful comparison with other igneous rocks, particularly as part of lessons on Bowen's reaction series.
