Minerals Fracture Collection (Set of 10)
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4372
The Minerals Fracture Collection (Set of 10) (SKU JA-ERAM-4372) is a mineral fracture set of 10 specimens chosen to show how minerals break when they do not split along cleavage or parting planes. Fracture can run in any direction, usually around an imperfection in the mineral, and its shape is a useful identification clue. The set covers even, uneven, conchoidal, subconchoidal, splintery and hackly fracture, and JaincoLab supplies it for school and college geology practicals.
Specifications
The set contains 10 mineral specimens that together show six fracture types; the listing does not name the individual minerals, so the specimen list, size and storage box are confirmed on the quotation.
