Description
Discover the beauty of volcanic geology with this Pack of 10 Trachyte Rock Specimens. Trachyte is a fine-grained, light-coloured extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava rich in silica and alkali metals. Composed primarily of alkali feldspar with minor mafic minerals, it is recognized as the volcanic equivalent of syenite.
Each specimen showcases the subtle textures and mineral composition that make trachyte a distinctive rock type. With its smooth grain and pale shades, it offers an excellent example of how volcanic processes shape Earth’s crust.
Ideal for geology classrooms, laboratories, or personal collections. This set provides an affordable and hands-on way to study igneous rock formation. Students can explore its mineral content, formation process, and role in volcanic landscapes, making it a valuable tool for both teaching and learning.
