Description

 

See below for English description.

Qu'il s'agisse de l'éclat verdoyant de l'amazonite ou des couleurs miroitantes de la labradorite, de l'opacité de la dolomie ou de la transparence de l'améthyste, le Canada regorge de roches impressionnantes! Ce guide offre aux amateurs de géologie une multitude d'informations pertinentes, en plus de leur offrir 13 échantillons de roches à découvrir.

Ce coffret inclut les spécimens suivants : néphrite, sélénite, dolomie, béryl, améthyste, amazonite, jaspe bréchique, chalcopyrite, grès quartzeux, labradorite, tourmaline, granit et quartz fumé, ainsi qu'une loupe. Par ailleurs, une affiche recto verso en couleurs présente notamment une carte des endroits où l'on retrouve ces roches au Canada.

 

From beautiful blue amazonite and shimmering labradorite to glittery dolomite and amazing amethyst, Canada has some seriously cool rocks! The full-colour information guide gives you the low-down on the basic information every rockhound needs to know, plus information about each of the 13 rock samples in the kit, including what provinces you might find them in.

The kit includes 13 rock or mineral specimens: amethyst, brecciated jasper, nephrite jade, smoky quartz, labradorite, quartz sandstone, dolomite, selenite, beryl, amazonite, chalcopyrite, tourmaline and granite, plus a mini-magnifier. The double-sided, full-colour poster features a map of where you can find these earth-bound treasures on one side and a "Canada Rocks!" wall poster on the other.
