Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic vesicular dark gray-black basalt. Sample contains numerous vesicles ranging in size from 0.01cm to 1.5 cm.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Apahanitic vesicular dark gray-black basalt. Larger (

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Imperfect volcanic bomb. Aphanitic with reddish brown color. Observed mudcrack texture of surface likely formed due to weathering. Sample contains abundant vesicles (< 0.05cm in size).

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: On cut face, aphanitic, gray basalt with light colored phaneritic crystals (~0.1 cm in size). Subparallel fractures noted across sample. Exterior of sample has been heavily weathered, resulting in the red and orange discoloration.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Glassy, dark gray, vesicular pumice. The sample contains many small pieces of the pumice, ranging from 0.03cm to 1.5cm in diameter. Chunks of glassy pumice and volcanic ash compose sample.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Dark gray, vesicular, glassy sample. Sample surface has a ropey texture with vesicles ranging from 0.01cm to 2.5cm in diameter. Sample has an iridescent luster on unweathered surfaces.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic medium gray vesicular basalt with scattered olivine crystals. Olivine crystals are scattered throughout the sample and are either growing in clusters or as single crystals. Olivine crystals range in size from 0.05cm to 0.5cm in…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic dark gray vesicular oceanite with phaneritic olivine crystals. Olivine crystals are scattered throughout the sample and are either growing in clusters or as a single crystal. Olivine crystals range in diameter from 0.1cm to…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic, light-gray alkalic olivine basalt. Sample contains abundant phenocrysts of feldspar, olivine, and augite. Phenocrysts range in diameter from 0.1cm to 0.5cm. Many of the phenocrysts in sample have an iridescent luster. Sample…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic, light gray alkalic olivine basalt. Sample contains abundant feldspar phenocrysts ranging in diameter from 0.1cm to 0.9cm in length. Phenocrysts are generally blocky in shape. Occasional vesicles throughout sample ranging in…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic light gray hawaiite with inclusions containing numerous vesicles. Inclusions are darker in color with abundant vesicles less than 0.01cm in diameter. The surface of the sample is heavily weathered, resulting in sample's tan…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic vesicular dark gray-black basalt with larger light crystals throughout the sample. The vesicles throughout the sample are elongate in shape, and range in size from 0.5 cm to 2.5 cm. Sample surface displays rough AA texture.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic dark gray vesicular basalt. Basalt has ropey pahoehoe texture on top surface and contains numerous elongated vesicles.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic medium gray vesicular basalt with scattered olivine crystals. Olivine crystals are commonly growing either in clusters or as one single crystal. Vesicles are found throughout sample and range in diameter from 0.05cm to 2cm.

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Apahanitic, vesicular, dark gray-black basalt. Olivine crystals are scattered throughout the sample and are approx. 0.05cm in diameter. Vesicles are very predominant throughout the sample and range in diameter from 0.01 cm to 1.5 cm This…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic dark gray vesicular basalt with olivine crystals scattered throughout. The olivine crystals are most common in this sample than in other samples within the suite. Sample was collected from an olivine-rich zone within Mauna Loa…

Hand Sample
Hand Sample: Aphanitic dark gray vesicular basalt. The vesicles are uniform and common throughout the sample, with diameters of approx. 0.05 cm.

Hand Sample
Trachytes are an igneous volcanic rock with an aphanitic or porphyritic texture. Alkali feldspar, low amounts of plagioclase and quartz or a feldspathoid are common in trachytes.

Hand Sample
Ankaramites are dark porphyritic basalts that contain abundant pyroxene and olivine phenocrysts. Lesser amounts of biotite, and plagioclase may also be present.
