Investigating The Chemical Composition Of Minerals (Product Code: SLE/ES/10) is a mounted-specimen project that explains how the predominant elements of the Earth's crust combine into the "recipes" for minerals. Real minerals from seven chemical families (silicate, sulfate, sulfide, oxide, halide, carbonate and native element) are mounted on an 18 in x 24 in chart, wood framed on a sturdy backing, and the product listing also includes 10 additional rocks and charts. It links chemistry and earth science teaching and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Mineral chemistry chart with mounted specimens |
| Mineral families mounted | Silicate, Sulfate, Sulfide, Oxide, Halide, Carbonate and Native element |
| Chart size | 18 in x 24 in |
| Construction | Wood framed on sturdy backing |
| Additional items listed | 10 additional rocks & charts |
| Teaching focus | Relationship between crustal elements and mineral composition |
The display lets a teacher move from the list of elements that dominate the crust to the minerals built from them. Students look at each mounted family, note which element or group (for example sulfate, carbonate or oxide) defines it, and compare the appearance of minerals that share an anion. Native elements provide a useful contrast because they occur uncombined. A worksheet asking students to write the family, likely elements present and one visible property for each mineral turns the chart into an active exercise.
It pairs well with a periodic table chart in Indian school labs, helping chemistry students see that the symbols and formulas they learn describe real materials underfoot. Hang the frame away from damp walls and direct sunlight, and discourage handling of the mounted specimens; dust gently with a soft brush when needed.

Which mineral families are represented?
Silicate, sulfate, sulfide, oxide, halide, carbonate and native element minerals are mounted on the chart.
How large is the display?
The chart is 18 in x 24 in, wood framed on sturdy backing.
What are the 10 additional rocks and charts?
They are listed as part of this product. The exact items are not detailed in our current notes, so please contact us for the full contents list.
Can I get a list of the individual minerals?
Yes, on request. We will confirm the specimen names with your quotation.
Is it better suited to chemistry or geography classes?
Both. It explains how crustal elements build minerals, so it supports chemistry lessons on compounds as well as earth science units on rocks and minerals.
What information does a school need to provide for a quotation?
Product code SLE/ES/10, quantity, delivery location and any tender paperwork your institution uses.
Is international shipping possible?
Yes. We supply India and international markets; warranty and delivery terms are confirmed per order.
