NATURAL HAND SAMPLE || Raw, unpolished hand sample with natural texture and irregular form, selected to reflect authentic metamorphic features and suitable for instructional use
وصف
This raw Biotite Gneiss hand sample is a coarse-grained metamorphic rock with visible mineral banding and foliation, ideal for teaching geologic processes. Approximately 2.75", and commonly used in earth science classrooms, labs, and field kits, it demonstrates mineral segregation, recrystallization, and structural alignment. Suitable for rock cycle instruction, texture analysis, and comparative rock studies. Unpolished and representative of natural metamorphic formation.
