10-Piece Rock and Mineral Matching Game Specimen Set

This rock and mineral matching set contains 10 specimens, each approximately 1 inch in length, designed to teach the relationship between minerals and the rocks they compose. The set turns mineral identification into a matching exercise: students determine which rock formed from which mineral. The set includes quartz, olivine, calcite, hornblende, muscovite, sandstone, scoria, limestone, amphibolite, and schist. These samples are suitable for classroom identification labs and correlate with Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements. The matching format provides a hands-on approach to understanding how minerals serve as the building blocks of rocks.
