Albite Mineral Specimen, Approx 1 inch

This albite specimen measures approximately 1" (3cm) and represents a variety of plagioclase feldspar rich in sodium. Albite exhibits a glossy sheen, two planes of cleavage, and a standard hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, making it a classic mineral for lessons in mineralogy and petrology. The specimen is useful in identification exercises, particularly when distinguishing albite from other feldspars. It comes in a clear, labeled, and barcoded plastic bag for organized storage and easy identification in classroom settings.
