Description

6PK Raw Galena Mineral Specimens, 1" - Geologist Selected - Eisco Labs
Raw Galena Specimen
Set of 6 Samples, 1"
Galena grows in beautiful metallic cubes. Often refined as lead ore, galena can also be used to teach students about a mineral's luster, streak, and cleavage. Because of the lead in the chemical formula, it is much denser than other minerals, which makes it seem unnaturally heavy for its size. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification & classification exercises. Galena's reflective cubic crystals are an excellent example of metallic luster.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
Selected & Processed by a Geologist.
Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Minerals and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
