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.

The tachylite I bought is super nice and is a very good size. I was inspired to buy this after watching a video on YouTube by Shawn Willsey, where he was discussing new basaltic lava and how shiny it is. I have old samples of basalt, and they are weathered and dull and so I thought this would be really interesting. It's also the newest rock in my collection, having been born in 2018.
I do highly recommend this seller; great communication and customer service.
