    Description

    THIS IS A LARGE SPECIMEN OF A
    ITACOLUMITE (FLEXIBLE SANDSTONE).
    THE SPECIMEN IS
    APPROXIMATELY 39 X 5 X 1 cm
    .  AND
    WEIGHS ABOUT 400 gms
    .  IT IS FROM
    STOKES CO., NORTH CAROLINA.
    THE SANDSTONE FLEXES DUE TO MINUTE PARTICLES OF "MICA" ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAND GRAINS.  THE "MICA" IS THE RESULT OF SOME LOW-LEVEL METAMORPHISM IN THE FORMATION.  THE SPECIMEN WAS TRIMMED FROM A LARGER PIECE TO BETTER DEMONSTRATE THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE SANDSTONE.  IT WAS COLLECTED IN 1956.  SEE PICTURES.  I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE.  THANKS FOR LOOKING.
