Minerals Test Kit Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Minerals Test Kit (Product Code: SLE/ES/19) gathers the simple tools students need to identify rocks, minerals and fossils by their physical properties – streak, hardness, magnetism and close visual detail – in one resealable zip-lock pouch. It is used by middle and secondary school classes, geography departments and introductory college geology practicals as a compact science kit for students working in pairs or small groups. The kit is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

A standard identification sequence starts with the hand lens to note colour, lustre, grain size and crystal shape. Students then drag the specimen across the streak plate to reveal the colour of its powder, which is often more reliable than surface colour. Hardness is bracketed by trying to scratch the sample with the penny and the nail, and by testing whether the sample scratches the glass plate; the result is compared with the hardness scale in the pouch. The magnet quickly picks out iron-bearing minerals such as magnetite.

The dropper bottle is intended for liquid tests; any reagent it holds is provided by the school and should be used only under teacher supervision. As a hands-on earth science kit it works well in rotation stations, where each group records results on a worksheet before comparing identifications with a reference collection. After class, wipe the plates dry and return every tool to the pouch so nothing goes missing between lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is inside the pouch?
A streak plate, a glass plate, a hand lens, a dropper bottle, a magnet, a nail, a penny and a hardness scale, all packed in a zip-lock pouch.

Does the kit include rock or mineral samples?
No specimens are listed in the contents. Pair the kit with a collection such as the Mineral ID Starter Set, or use samples your students have collected.

Is a test liquid supplied in the dropper bottle?
The contents list the dropper bottle only, with no liquid. If your practical uses a reagent, it should be prepared by the teacher and used under supervision; ask us via the contact page if you need matching chemicals quoted.

How do I care for the plates and tools?
Brush powder off the streak plate after each test, keep the glass plate in the pouch to avoid chipping, and keep the magnet away from the hand lens and any electronic devices.

How many kits does a class need?
The listing does not fix a number of users per kit. Most teachers plan by the size of their working groups; tell us your class size and we will quote the quantity you choose.

Can you supply class sets or export orders?
Yes. Bulk quantities for schools and institutions in India and international markets can be quoted; include the product code SLE/ES/19, quantity and delivery location in your request.
