Storage Boxes – Rock – Mineral Specimens
Storage Boxes – Rock – Mineral Specimens (Product Code: SLE/ES/18) are compartmented collection boxes that keep individual rock and mineral samples separated, visible and easy to put back in place after a lesson. Earth science teachers, geography departments and college geology rooms use them to organise reference sets and student-collected field samples. Built from rugged polystyrene and leather-finished cardboard, they are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its range of educational laboratory equipment in India.

Typical Use
Teachers usually place one specimen per cell, with a small numbered label beneath each sample, so the box doubles as an identification key during practical classes. Keeping every rock or mineral in its own compartment stops softer samples such as gypsum or talc from being scratched by harder neighbours, and it turns end-of-term stock-taking into a quick visual check. The 40-cell format suits a reference set that a class works through over several lessons.
As part of a school laboratory setup in India, boxes are commonly organised on shelves by theme – igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, or ores and common minerals – so students can take out one set at a time. Keep the boxes flat and away from damp, handle the cardboard parts with dry hands, and clean the polystyrene surfaces with a dry cloth rather than water.
Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company based in Ambala, Haryana, that produces teaching apparatus for earth science, physics, chemistry and biology laboratories. Specimen storage like this box is sent to schools and colleges in India and international markets; more background is on our company profile.
Related Earth Science Equipment
A storage box is most useful alongside the specimens and test tools it will hold. These items belong to the same collecting and identification workflow:
- Mineral ID Starter Set — a ready group of minerals to fill the cells.
- Expanded Rock Collection — a larger rock set for building a sorted reference box.
- Rock Study Kit — supports classroom study of the rocks being stored.
- Minerals Test Kit — streak, hardness and magnet checks before specimens are labelled and boxed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are rock or mineral specimens included with the box?
No specimens are listed as part of this item; it is the storage box itself. Collections such as the Mineral ID Starter Set can be ordered separately, and if you would like a pre-filled box please ask us through the contact page.
What sizes can I choose from?
Four sizes are available. The 40-cell box is the version detailed on this page; for the cell count and dimensions of the other three sizes, contact us and we will confirm them for your enquiry.
What does the 1.5 x 2 cell size mean for my specimens?
Our catalogue records each cell of the 40-cell box as 1.5 x 2. Please confirm the unit and check the fit against your largest samples with our team before ordering, so bulky specimens are not left without a compartment.
What materials is the box made from?
Rugged polystyrene and leather-finished cardboard. Store it dry and wipe it with a dry cloth; soaking or washing will damage the cardboard.
Is a warranty provided?
Warranty and after-sales terms are stated in each quotation. Ask us for the terms that apply to your order.
What should an institutional quotation request include?
Quote the product code SLE/ES/18, the size or sizes required, the quantity of boxes, the delivery address and any labelling needs. Bulk orders for multiple laboratories in India and international markets can be quoted together.
