Description
Discover the dynamic world of igneous rocks with this Basalt Rock Vesicular – Pack of 10 Geological Specimens, ideal for classroom exploration, hands-on activities, and geology demonstrations. Each sample features the classic characteristics of vesicular basalt—a dark, fine-grained volcanic rock formed from rapidly cooled lava. What makes these specimens especially engaging is their abundance of small, bubble-like holes, known as vesicles, created when gas became trapped during solidification.
These natural variations give each piece a unique texture and appearance. Some samples may show heavy vesiculation, while others with extreme porosity closely resemble scoria, making the pack perfect for comparing rock types and understanding volcanic processes. Students can observe firsthand how gas content, cooling rates, and eruption styles influence the final rock structure.
Durable and classroom-ready, this set of 10 specimens offers an excellent resource for teaching igneous rock identification, texture analysis, and volcanic formation concepts—providing a memorable, hands-on learning experience for both group and individual study.
