Product Description

Arkose Sandstone (Uncemented)

Teacher Class Pack - 10 Piece

Sedimentary Rock Specimens

Moore County, North Carolina

Specifications: Each of these 10 pieces will have at least one side that measures 3/4" in length, and an overall size estimate of 3/4” x 1/2" x 1/4”. The 10 specimens are packed together in a durable ziplock plastic bag, that has one label with the name of the material and the location in which it was found.

Specific Description: This sandstone has a variety of colors to include tan, mauve and light brick red. Although this an uncemented sandstone, it adheres well, and does not readily crumble (friability) unless direct moderate pressure is applied.

Sandstone is a rock made up of sediment particles, which are called clasts (pieces of minerals and rocks). Sand particles dominate sandstone, and typically range in size from 1/16 millimeter and 2 mm in size (medium size).

Photography: The pictures are representative of the quality and general size of the 10 pieces of material you will receive. The pieces pictured are not the actual ones that you will receive, but are from the same rock and mineral stock (outcrop or formation) your order will be filled from. Additionally, while taking the representative pictures, a diligent effort was made to capture the material in both direct sunlight and shade.

Questions: If you have any questions about our rock and mineral offerings, please know that we encourage you to contact us via the email or phone information on our "Customer Service" page. In most cases, we reply in less than 24 hours! Additionally, because we research, identify and collect most of the rocks and minerals ourselves, we are qualified and eager to answer your specific and complex questions regarding our rock and mineral offerings!
