Mineral Study Kit Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Mineral Study Kit (Product Code: SLE/GG/08) brings together 15 important minerals as number-coded, 1-inch specimens that learners can handle, test and study one by one. The set ranges from soft talc and three forms of gypsum to magnetite, metallic pyrite and milky quartz, and it can also be added to an existing rock and mineral collection. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for geography, earth science and chemistry classrooms.

Specifications

The 15 specimens in the kit:

• Fluorite
• Feldspar – Microcline
• Hematite
• Mica – Muscovite
• Magnetite
• Mica – Biotite
• Graphite
• Gypsum – Alabaster
• Talc
• Halite
• Gypsum – Satin Spar
• Gypsum – Selenite
• Pyrite
• Milky Quartz
• Calcite

Typical Use

Students work through simple property tests on each numbered specimen. Scratch tests compare hardness — talc is the softest mineral on the Mohs scale, while quartz is hard enough to scratch glass. A streak test on an unglazed plate shows that hematite leaves a reddish-brown streak even when the specimen looks dark, and a small magnet picks out magnetite straight away.

The two micas peel into thin flexible sheets, a clear example of cleavage; graphite marks paper, which explains its use in pencils; and the three gypsum forms — alabaster, satin spar and selenite — show how one mineral can look very different. Calcite’s reaction with dilute acid is best shown by the teacher. Because the specimens are number-coded, teachers can run blind identification quizzes, and adding a streak plate and a hand lens turns the kit into a complete mineral testing station for an earth science kit or geography lab.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which minerals are in the kit?
Fluorite, feldspar (microcline), hematite, muscovite and biotite mica, magnetite, graphite, three forms of gypsum (alabaster, satin spar and selenite), talc, halite, pyrite, milky quartz and calcite — 15 in total.

How big are the specimens?
Each specimen is 1 inch in size.

How are the specimens identified?
Each one is number-coded. If you need a printed key for the codes, contact us to confirm what is supplied.

Can it be combined with a collection we already have?
Yes. The kit is intended to be added to any rock and mineral collection.

Are testing tools such as streak plates included?
Testing tools are not listed with this kit; see the Mineral Test Kit and streak plates above if you need them.

Are there any handling precautions?
Students should not taste specimens (halite is rock salt) and should wash their hands after handling minerals such as graphite and hematite, which can leave marks.

Can you supply class quantities or ship overseas?
Yes. We supply schools in India and international markets; list the number of kits in your enquiry cart.
