Description
The Rocks Scale of Hardness – Set of 9 Geological Specimens is an essential teaching kit for understanding Mohs’ Scale of Hardness. Perfect for geology classrooms, labs, or student study, this collection includes nine carefully selected mineral specimens, each approximately 1" x 1 ½" and number-coded for easy identification.
This traditional hardness test kit provides hands-on experience with minerals ranging from soft to very hard, including graphite, gypsum, calcite, fluorite, apatite, feldspar, quartz, beryl, and corundum. Supporting tools such as a streak plate, glass plate, penny, and nail are included to perform scratch tests and compare hardness levels.
Please note: Talc has been removed from this collection.
Housed in a 12-cell compartmentalized tray with labels, this set makes mineral testing organized and accessible. Whether for teaching, lab work, or individual exploration, this hardness collection offers a practical way to study mineral durability and identification through real specimens.
