Minerals Streak Collection (Set of 10)
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4374
The Minerals Streak Collection (Set of 10) (SKU JA-ERAM-4374) is a mineral streak set of 10 specimens chosen for their different streak colours. Streak is the colour of a mineral in powdered form, usually seen by rubbing it on an unglazed streak plate, and it shows the true colour more reliably than the solid specimen, whose appearance can be changed by trace impurities and by the way it reflects light. JaincoLab supplies the set for school and college mineral identification practicals.
Specifications
The set contains 10 minerals with ten different streak colours, from white and colourless to black, reddish and brownish gold; the individual minerals are not named in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.
