The rock set includes 10 sedimentary, 9 metamorphic and 10 igneous samples that are all:

  • Completely safe, free from asbestos, asbestos-like minerals and other toxic materials. Each rock sample has been inspected by TESEP geoscientists.
  • Guaranteed to be what we say they are
  • Labelled with numbers with a list to ensure you always know which is which
