Micro Geology Chip Hammer 1 oz

For the delicate extraction work a full-size rock hammer would destroy. When you have spent hours tracking down a rare crystal vein, fossil matrix, or raw gold specimen, swinging a heavy 20oz Estwing rock hammer is a recipe for disaster. The 1 oz Micro-Geology Chip Hammer is designed specifically for the fine, delicate matrix removal required to safely extract high-value specimens.

Featuring a perfectly balanced, drop-forged steel head, this micro-hammer allows geologists and lapidary workers to gently chip away surrounding host rock with absolute precision without destroying the core specimen.

Key Features:

• Ultra-Light 1 oz Head: Delivers highly controlled, low-impact strikes.

• Dual Function: Flat face for striking micro-chisels, and a rounded pein for targeted matrix clearing.

• Specimen Protection: Prevents shattering of fragile quartz, tourmaline, or fossil structures.

• Ergonomic Handle: Perfectly balanced for detailed lab prep or field extraction.
