"Dessus de bouchon"

When minerals, rocks, and fossils cannot be accurately identified by macroscopic observation and testing, thin section slides can reveal the composition and structure of the specimens on a microscopic level.

Great value for the microscopic study of Pyroxene minerals

Specially selected thin sections of important rock forming minerals. Set may contain more than one example of the same mineral to depict variations in occurrence and distinct mineral associations.

Slides (12): actinolite, anthophyllite, cummingtonite, ferrohornblende, fluoredenite, glaucophane, grunerite, hexagonite, kaersutite, magnesiohornblende, riebeckite, tremolite.

A fascinating and colorful classroom study set.
