Item #: | 018673 |

Grades: | 3-AD |
Product Description:
Includes booklet, streak plate, magnifier and 15 specimens: fluorite, feldspar, hematite, pyrite, quartz, calcite, muscovite, magnetite, alabaster, talc, pyrolusite, biotite, graphite, satin spar, and selenite. /p>
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
