About us

GEOLOGICAL TEACHING SPECIMENS OF ROCKS & MINERALS

We have been supplying teaching specimens of rocks, minerals and occasionally fossils useful in the classroom since 2012, with 100% positive feedback.

Our customers range from individuals and elementary school teachers to colleges and universities. We ship worldwide. if you have any questions geological, feel free to ask, as we are just as pleased to provide information as we are to sell specimens. Our goal is to make geology interesting to students and to do whatever we can for the teacher to make it happen.

We think the small peanut-sized examples often presented to students are too small to show rock textures or the identifying characteristics of a mineral. We feel that the specimens that students have in hand should not only be "textbook," clearly showing the characteristics of that rock or mineral, but they should also be attractive. One of our teacher customers remarked that we collect pretty specimens. We think so too.
