Our Rock Collection

In Geography we studied different rocks found in Ireland and around the world.  We discovered that rocks can be hard or soft, permeable or impermeable and have many different uses such as, walls, roads, roofing, kitchen work tops and jewellery.

In our collection we have limestone from Co. Galway, Basalt from the Giants Causeway, Co. Antrim,  Red Jasper, Tiger Eye and Agate from South Africa and Turqurenite from France.
