NEW GEOLOGICAL / MINERALOGICAL / STANDARD SET

Product Code GEO Mk II

This new improved standard block contains carefully chosen materials to provide a better range of elements than in the old GEO Block. Standards for Chlorine, Rubidium and Caesium have been added, these elements being often found in Silicate Minerals. Kyanite, Almandine, Olivine and Diopside have also been added as " * Secondary Standards" to check the quality of chemical analysis achieved.
