What Is the Minerals Luster Collection Used For?
Lustre is usually the first property students record after colour, and it divides minerals into two broad groups: metallic minerals, which are opaque and shine like polished metal, and non-metallic minerals, whose surfaces may be glassy, brilliant, resinous, greasy, pearly or dull. Familiar examples fix the terms — galena is metallic, quartz vitreous, talc pearly and kaolin clay dull. Because the brightness of the light changes how a surface appears, students should compare all ten specimens under the same lamp or daylight, turning each one until light falls on a clean face.
The collection supports rocks-and-minerals lessons in secondary-school geography and science, college geology and earth science practicals, and teacher training, and is often used with streak and colour sets so that students learn to record several properties for each mineral. Keep the specimens clean and dry; dust and fingerprints dull a surface and can make a vitreous mineral look greasy.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — at least 10 sets.
- Specimen list — ask for it with your quotation, including which mineral represents the “shining” lustre.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is lustre in minerals?
Lustre (luster) describes how much, and in what way, the surface of a mineral reflects light — for example metallic, glassy (vitreous) or pearly.
Which lustre types does this set show?
The listing names metallic, submetallic, adamantine, vitreous, resinous, greasy, pearly, dull and “shining” lustre across the 10 specimens, with metallic named twice.
What is the difference between metallic and non-metallic lustre?
Metallic minerals are opaque and reflect light like polished metal. Non-metallic minerals reflect light in other ways — glassy, brilliant, resinous, greasy, pearly or dull — and many let some light through.
Why should the specimens be viewed under the same light?
The brilliance of the light affects how a surface appears, so comparing every specimen under one lamp or in the same daylight gives fairer results.
What are the minimum order and dispatch time?
The minimum order is 10 sets, and orders are usually dispatched within 7–10 working days after each set is visually checked. Export quotations need the destination port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF and any tender reference.
Who manufactures this collection?
JLab, the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, prepares it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a school and college lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The lustre collection is prepared at JLab’s own works rather than sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy straight from the manufacturer; each set is inspected by eye before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the same team. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Botswana in Southern Africa, the USA in North America, Jamaica in Central America and the Caribbean, Taiwan in East Asia and Norway in Northern Europe. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
