Dear Mineralogists,
Utrecht University seek igneous rocks for our teaching collection; namely a gabbro and an evolved pyroclastic volcanic rock. We would need approximately 30x thin-sections of each, and ideally some matching hand samples.
We can offer a comfortable and warm home for an orphaned and lonely teaching collection — a chance for a new life after closure of an Earth Science department, for example. We would otherwise make a shiny new set from scratch.
All best wishes,
-Charlie
