Description
This set of 10 bauxite rock specimens is an excellent resource for classrooms, laboratories, and collectors exploring the geology of Earth’s most important aluminum ore. Bauxite is a sedimentary rock mineral formed through the intense weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. It is the primary source of aluminum, making it a key material in both geological study and industrial applications.
Each specimen displays the characteristic earthy texture and coloration of bauxite. First discovered in 1821 in the village of Les Baux, France, by geologist Pierre Berthier. This rock continues to play a vital role in understanding mineral resources and the processes of chemical weathering.
Perfect for hands-on learning. This pack helps students and enthusiasts identify, classify, and appreciate the significance of bauxite within the broader context of sedimentary geology and mineral economics.
