Minerals Luster Collection (Set of 10)
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4375
The Minerals Luster Collection (Set of 10) (SKU JA-ERAM-4375) is a mineral lustre set of 10 specimens showing how differently mineral surfaces reflect light. Lustre is judged by eye, and the brilliance of the light used affects how a surface appears, so a reference set helps students learn the standard terms. The set covers metallic, submetallic, adamantine, vitreous, resinous, greasy, pearly, shining and dull lustre, and JaincoLab supplies it for school and college mineral identification.
Specifications
The set contains 10 minerals chosen for their lustre, covering the nine lustre types listed below, with metallic lustre shown twice; the individual minerals are not named in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.
