Product information "Munsell Rock Color Chart"
Originally developed by the GSA (Geological Society of America) based on the Munsell
color system and published for use by mineralogists and geologists in the field, the
Munsell Rock Color Book was revised in 2009 at the Munsell Laboratories and re-released as a
weatherproof chart.
The updated Munsell Rock Color Chart, featuring 115 color patches, is perfect for
describing rocks while conducting fieldwork. This applies to medium- to fine-grained rocks,
as well as coarse-grained rocks. For very coarse-grained rock, it is necessary to determine
the color of each mineral individually.
Using the color book, and provided the rock is not too coarse-grained, the mixed color
of the individual minerals is determined by rotating the sample or by viewing it from a
short distance. It is compared with the color chart and documented along with
the color designation.
The chart contains 115 Munsell notations necessary for determining stone colors
from the following hues: 5R, 10R, 5YR, 10YR, 5Y, 10Y, 5GY, 10GY, 5G, 10G, 5BG, 5B, 5PB,
5P, 5RP, 5YR, 5Y, 5GY, 5G, 5B + nine neutral gray tones.
