Summary
[Adapted from the Geological Survey of Japan Sample Reference
Standards Abstracts Page,
http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/geostand/gsj1maine.html]

The Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has issued 31 rock reference
samples for the analysis of major, minor and trace elements, isotopic
compositions and isotopic ages. The purpose of this standard reference
... material project in Geological Survey of Japan is to improve and check
the reliability of analytical data obtained from different methods and
different laboratories. Therefore, these samples (total number is over
8000) have been distributed to analytical laboratories in 43 countries
worldwide and the analytical data obtained with cooperative works were
compiled and used to improve the accuracy of the data.

The following are samples that are available:
