Rocks and Minerals Test Kit
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4370
The Rocks and Minerals Test Kit (SKU JA-ERAM-4370) is a mineral testing kit for streak, magnetism, acid reaction and hardness tests. It combines a Mohs hardness scale set of nine minerals, from talc (1) to corundum (9), with a magnetite specimen for the magnetism test and a set of tools that includes a streak plate, glass and metal plates, a knife, a magnet and a hand lens. JaincoLab supplies the kit with an instruction manual for school and college geology practicals.
Specifications
The kit contains 10 minerals, nine forming the Mohs hardness scale from talc (1) to corundum (9) plus magnetite for the magnetism test, together with the testing tools and instruction manual listed below.

Applications of the rocks and minerals test kit
The kit is used for hands-on mineral identification, letting students scratch-test unknown specimens against the Mohs scale, check streak colour, test for magnetism and observe acid reaction on carbonates.
- Mohs hardness testing in school and college geology practicals
- Streak tests on a streak plate to identify minerals by powder colour
- Magnetism test with magnetite and the supplied magnet
- Acid reaction test for carbonate minerals such as calcite
