GeoSafari Metamorphic Rock Collection

Can one type of rock turn into another type of rock? Yes, if that rock is in the right place at the right time! The word metamorphic means “changed in form”, which is why it used to describe rocks that have changed! Metamorphic rock is rock that has had its appearance changed by extreme pressure and heat. Ground water, gases, and other fluids seeping into rocks can also cause changes. Sounds cool? Well, instead of going on a long, arduous search for metamorphic rocks, why not just grab this great collection? Twelve metamorphic rock specimens are featured, with interesting facts listed about each one in the helpful information guide. A useful rock identification chart will help you and your child to clearly label each rock with the provided adhesive stickers. Plus, the rocks are enclosed in a handy storage tray, making classification and storage neat and simple. Great tips for how to properly search for rocks are also given.
