Product Overview
Phyllite is a good example of low-grade metamorphism from an easily recognizable parent rock. The fissile property of slate is retained, but has attained a glossy sheen and soapy feel more indicative of metamorphic material. Hydrothermal alteration often gives phyllite an earthy green color. This rock is useful for explaining metamorphic rock properties and in identifcation exercises. 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.
