Minerals Specific Gravity Collection (Set of 10)
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4377
The Minerals Specific Gravity Collection (Set of 10) (SKU JA-ERAM-4377) is a set of 10 mineral specimens for specific gravity work. Specific gravity compares the weight of a mineral with the weight of an equal volume of water; that weight of water is found from the difference between the mineral's weight in air and its weight in water. Students can measure it with a balance and compare light and heavy minerals. JaincoLab supplies the set for school and college practicals.
Specifications
The set contains 10 mineral specimens for specific gravity measurement; the listing does not name the minerals or give their specific gravity values, so the specimen list, size and storage box are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the specific gravity mineral set
The set is used for practicals in which students weigh each specimen in air and in water, calculate its specific gravity and use the result as an identification clue alongside hardness and streak.
- Specific gravity practicals in school and college geology
- Archimedes principle exercises in physics
- Comparing light and heavy minerals by hand and by balance
- Building a physical-properties reference set with the streak and lustre collections

Frequently asked questions
What is specific gravity?
The ratio of the weight of a mineral to the weight of an equal volume of water, found from its weight in air and its weight in water.
What else is needed for the test?
A balance suited to weighing in air and in water; it is not part of this listing and can be quoted separately.
Which minerals are included?
The listing does not name them; the specimen list for your order is confirmed on the quotation.
