Minerals Tenacity Collection (Set of 10)
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4376
The Minerals Tenacity Collection (Set of 10) (SKU JA-ERAM-4376) is a mineral tenacity set of 10 specimens showing how the particles of a mineral hold together or resist separation when it is struck, cut, bent or pulled. Tenacity helps to separate minerals that look alike, such as brittle quartz and elastic mica. The set is listed for brittle, sectile, malleable, flexible, elastic, soft, tensile and fragile behaviour, and JaincoLab supplies it for school and college mineral identification practicals.
Specifications
The set contains 10 minerals chosen for their tenacity, covering the eight tenacity terms listed below; the individual minerals are not named in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.
