Product Overview
Hornblende is part of a group of minerals known as amphiboles. These minerals are chemically and structurally similar to pyroxenes, but include water in their atomic structure. These properties make hornblende useful when studying both igneous and metamorphic rocks, as well as when learning the process behind mineral identification. While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 3" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
