Jackson Springs

At Jackson Springs we learned about Geology and looked closely at different types of rocks.

Gneiss is a type of metamorphic rock that is identified by the distinctive lines that present.

 Quartz is a type of crystal that has a 6 sided shape to it. It can be found in a variety of colors.

Granite is a rock that is made from the pressure that combines quartz, feldspar, and hornblende.

Feldspar is a mineral that can be found in some types of rocks.  It is formed from cooled magma and crystalizes in geometric patterns.
