Category Description for Geocentral Rock Science Kits

These rock sets include the basics for each category. Specimens range in size from ¾" to 1" and each set includes a 1" plastic magnifier and guide. Each guide includes a key to specimens and an introductory statement about the contents of that particular kit. For the hardness kit an explanation is given along with the MOHS hardness scale; the mineral and rock kit guides give a brief explanation of their formation. If you want small, affordable kits to cover the basics, these are a great option. Specimens are large enough to see detail, and they come in a sturdy cardboard box with divided plastic tray. Storage isn't an issue in these compact kits. ~ Donna
