Rock Collection - Metamorphic

The rock collection in this science kit is the real deal! Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of a pre-existing rock type called the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The protolith is subjected to extreme heat and pressure causing profound physical and chemical change.
