Eisco Pumice Igneous Rock Specimen, Geologist Selected & Hand Processed, 3"

Eisco Pumice Igneous Rock Specimen is a valuable tool for exploring geological concepts in educational settings. Hand-selected and processed by a geologist, this specimen clearly displays rock features that enhance learning experiences in adult classrooms. Unlike most rock specimens, which aren't hand-processed, this pumice stone provides defining features suitable for hands-on lessons. Ideal for demonstrating density, the pumice stone's ability to float is a memorable way to engage students in understanding rock buoyancy. This feature distinguishes it from typical rock samples that sink, making it an effective tool for science educators to illustrate the effects of vesicles on rock density. The porous nature of the pumice, filled with tiny gas bubbles, serves as a fascinating subject for lessons on igneous rock classification and density. Individually bagged, labeled, and barcoded, this specimen ensures easy identification and storage, unlike other loose rock samples. Its approximate 3-inch size is convenient for handling and passing around in classroom activities, supporting interactive and dynamic lessons. With the transition from summer to fall, this pumice specimen is a useful resource for educators preparing for the upcoming school season, providing a tactile and visual aid for geology lessons. Whether used in a classroom or a home study environment, it facilitates an engaging learning experience for science enthusiasts. Eisco's attention to quality is evident in each specimen, processed in Victor, NY. This pumice stone serves as a gateway to understanding the fascinating processes of our planet. Handle with care to observe its texture and light weight, and store in a dry place post-demonstration to maintain its condition.
