Product Code : EL-GE-7285
Jlab Export is a leading Mineral Study Kit Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Mineral Study Kit (code EL-GE-7285) is a collection of 15 labelled mineral specimens, each approximately 25 x 25 mm, chosen as examples of the major mineral groups in Dana’s classification and used for mineral identification in school and college geology and geography classes. It includes quartz, calcite, fluorite, pyrite, hematite, magnetite, two micas and three forms of gypsum. Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) prepares the kit at its works in Ambala, India.

What Can Students Test with These Specimens?
| Mineral class (present-day grouping) | Specimens in this kit | Properties to observe |
|---|---|---|
| Oxides | Magnetite, hematite | Magnetite is strongly magnetic with a black streak; hematite gives a red-brown streak |
| Sulfide | Pyrite | Brassy metallic lustre and a greenish-black streak |
| Native element | Graphite | Very soft and greasy; marks paper |
| Halides | Fluorite, halite | Fluorite cleaves into octahedra; halite into cubes |
| Carbonate | Calcite | Fizzes in dilute acid; rhombohedral cleavage |
| Sulfates | Gypsum as selenite, alabaster and satin spar | Soft enough to scratch with a fingernail; clear crystals, fine-grained massive and silky fibrous forms of one mineral |
| Silicates | Quartz, microcline, muscovite, biotite, talc | Quartz has no cleavage and scratches glass; microcline has two cleavages near right angles; the micas peel into thin sheets (muscovite pale, biotite dark); talc is soft and soapy |
What Is the Mineral Study Kit Used For?
The kit gives students a small, labelled reference set for learning how minerals are classified and identified. Working through the classes, they test streak, lustre, cleavage, hardness and magnetism and see why each property matters: hematite and magnetite can look alike but differ in streak and magnetism, and the three gypsum specimens show that one mineral can take very different forms. Talc, gypsum, calcite, fluorite and quartz are also reference minerals of the Mohs hardness scale, so the kit supports simple scratch-test exercises. It fits minerals and rocks topics in school geography and science and introductory mineralogy in college geology labs.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 kits.
- Testing tools — streak plates, hardness pencils or a mineral test kit are separate items and can go on the same enquiry.
- Larger collections — mention if you also need a rocks-and-minerals set for the same class.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which minerals are in the Mineral Study Kit?
Fluorite, selenite, milky quartz, calcite, magnetite, alabaster, microcline feldspar, muscovite, talc, halite, biotite, hematite, pyrite, graphite and satin spar — 15 specimens, three of them forms of gypsum.
How big are the specimens, and are they labelled?
Each is approximately 25 x 25 mm, and every specimen is labelled for identification.
Which mineral groups does it cover?
The listing describes the specimens as examples of the major mineral groups classified in Dana’s Textbook of Mineralogy. Grouped by present-day classes, the named specimens are oxides, sulfates, silicates, a carbonate, halides, a sulfide and a native element.
Are testing tools included?
No tools are listed with this kit. Streak plates, hardness pencils and the Mineral Test Kit, linked below, are separate items.
How does it differ from the Introductory Earth Science Collection?
That collection is a larger unit of 75 number-coded rocks and minerals, 32 x 20 mm each, supplied with a streak plate, magnet and magnifier. The Mineral Study Kit is a smaller set of 15 labelled minerals only.
What should an export enquiry include?
Quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling needs and any tender reference.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of geology, geography and science teaching equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The kit is put together at JLab’s own works instead of being bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy factory-direct, every kit is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and can supply buyers in every region — Taiwan in East Asia, Vanuatu in Oceania, Turkmenistan in Central Asia, Ghana in West Africa and the Maldives in South Asia, to name a few. Tender information is on the JLab lab tenders page.
Mineral Testing Tools and Collections
- Mineral Test Kit — streak plate, hand lens, magnet, glass plate, hardness scale and other tools for testing the specimens.
- White Streak Plates — unglazed white porcelain tiles for the streak test.
- Mohs Hardness Pencils — a boxed set of hardness testing pencils.
- Collection of 9 Mohs Hardness Set — minerals representing the Mohs scale of hardness.
- Introductory Earth Science Collection — a larger number-coded unit of rocks and minerals with basic test tools.
- Rock and Rock Forming Minerals Collection — rock-forming minerals alongside igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
