Description

Explore the fascinating properties of Biotite with this pack of 10 black cleavage plate specimens, ideal for classroom demonstrations, laboratory work, or educational displays. Biotite is a common rock-forming mineral belonging to the mica group, known for its dark colour, vitreous luster, and perfect basal cleavage, allowing it to split easily into thin, flexible sheets.

These specimens provide an excellent hands-on learning tool for studying mineral structure, cleavage, and physical properties. Students can observe its characteristic black to dark brown colour, sheet-like structure, and softness compared to other silicate minerals.

Each specimen is large enough for detailed examination yet convenient for group study. Perfect for geology classes, earth science labs, or collectors looking to expand their mineral sets, this collection highlights the unique characteristics of one of the most recognizable mica minerals.
