Minerals Cleavage Collection (Set of 10)
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4373
The Minerals Cleavage Collection (Set of 10) (SKU JA-ERAM-4373) is a mineral cleavage set of 10 specimens that show how minerals tend to break along preferred planes set by their crystal structure. Some minerals have a single cleavage direction while others have two, three or more. The set covers basal, cubic, octahedral, pinacoidal, rhombohedral and prismatic cleavage, and JaincoLab supplies it for school and college geology and mineralogy practicals.
Specifications
The set contains 10 mineral specimens that together show six cleavage types; the listing does not name the individual minerals, so the specimen list, size and storage box are confirmed on the quotation.
