Rocks (Set of 50) in Showcase Paper Mounted

“Rocks (Set of 50) in Showcase Paper Mounted” is a large-format educational rock collection consisting of 50 labeled rock specimens, each affixed to a paper mounting sheet and protected under a glass or acrylic showcase front.​

Features and Composition

Specimen Variety:

Contains 50 different rocks representing all major categories: igneous (granite, basalt, gabbro, obsidian, rhyolite), sedimentary (sandstone, limestone, shale, conglomerate, rock salt, diatomite), and metamorphic (marble, slate, gneiss, schist, quartzite, serpentine, etc.).​

Often includes some samples of coal, breccia, pumice, pegmatite, chalk, and other notable or regional rocks.​

Paper Mounting and Display:

Each rock is securely glued or affixed to a printed card/paper backing, with the name (and sometimes locality or number) indicated underneath.​

The mounting is fitted inside a display case with a glass or acrylic front, for protection and easy viewing in classrooms or labs.​

Full specimen identification ensures quick reference and supports comparative study or classroom demonstration.​

Educational Utility:

Provides an economical, visually organized way to study, identify, and compare a broad variety of rocks in earth science or geology coursework.​

The extensive selection, along with the mounting format, supports group work and hands-on learning in school, university, or outreach events.​

Sometimes paired with a data sheet, field guide, or information booklet to help students distinguish physical properties and origins.

This format is ideal for budget-conscious institutions needing a substantial, accessible, and well-labeled classroom reference for geology practicals and demonstrations.
