Types of Igneous Rocks
Our Igneous Rocks Collection comprises a diverse array of rock types, each with its own unique properties and origin. Dive into the diverse world of igneous rocks with the following types:
Granite
Granite, a coarse-grained plutonic rock, is one of the most recognizable igneous rocks. Composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica, it offers a captivating range of colors and textures. Known for its durability and aesthetic appeal, granite is frequently used in construction and ornamental purposes. Our collection features exquisite granite specimens that showcase the rock's intricate patterns and mineral composition.
Basalt
Basalt, a fine-grained volcanic rock, is renowned for its widespread occurrence and dark, often black color. As one of the most abundant rock types on Earth, basalt holds great geological significance. Its formation is associated with volcanic activity and is commonly found in volcanic regions, both on land and underwater. Our collection captures the essence of basalt and its unique characteristics, allowing you to explore this important igneous rock.
Pumice
Pumice, a lightweight and highly porous volcanic rock, possesses fascinating properties that make it a standout among igneous rocks. Its vesicular texture, created by numerous gas bubbles during volcanic eruptions, gives it an incredibly low density. Pumice is widely used as an abrasive material, in horticulture, and even as a skincare product. Our collection features premium pumice specimens that showcase its distinctive properties.
