Raw Red Slate Specimen Set of 12 Samples, 1" Slate is very lightly metamorphosed and well-foliated. This appearance often makes it difficult to distinguish from its parent rock, shale. The two can be told apart by the difference in pitch when struck. Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Slate is perfect for lessons on metamorphic rocks and alteration. 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.
