BASALT ROCK is priced at approximately ₹235 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
Product Description
This basalt rock specimen provides a hands-on resource for studying volcanic rock formation. As one of the most common extrusive igneous rocks, basalt forms from rapidly cooling lava, giving students a clear example of fine-grained igneous texture to compare against slower-cooled intrusive rocks. It enhances understanding of geological processes and igneous rock characteristics through tactile and visual examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does basalt have a fine-grained texture?
It’s an extrusive igneous rock that cooled rapidly at the Earth’s surface from lava, which prevents large mineral crystals from forming.
What is the exact specimen size supplied?
This has not been independently verified for this listing — confirm with STEMAids before ordering.
Is this suitable for classroom demonstrations?
Yes — basalt specimens of this kind are standard teaching material for volcanic rock topics.
Does this carry a specific quality certification?
Any certification is manufacturer-stated — verify current certification and scope directly with STEMAids before relying on it.
Does STEMAids supply other igneous rock specimens?
Yes — STEMAids offers other igneous and volcanic rock specimens in this category; contact STEMAids to confirm current availability.
