Which Streak Plate Shows Each Colour?
| Streak colours in this set | Plate that shows them clearly |
|---|---|
| Black, brown, brown grey, reddish, greenish black, brown gold | White Streak Plates — the white face shows dark and strongly coloured streaks |
| White, light blue, yellow grey | Black Streak Plates — the dark face shows white or pale streaks |
| Colourless | Either plate; a mineral harder than the plate scratches it instead of leaving a coloured streak |
Ordering one white and one black plate per group lets students read every streak colour in the set.
What Is the Minerals Streak Collection Used For?
The colour of a solid specimen can mislead: small amounts of impurities change it, and light reflects differently from different surfaces. Rubbing the mineral across an unglazed plate grinds a little of it to powder, and the colour of that powder — the streak — is far more consistent for a given mineral. Textbook examples are hematite, which may look black or silvery yet always gives a reddish-brown streak, and pyrite, whose brassy yellow crystals leave a greenish-black streak. With this collection students practise the test on ten known streak colours before they try it on unknown specimens.
The set supports rocks-and-minerals lessons in secondary schools, college geology and earth science practicals, and teacher training. Draw the specimen firmly across the plate once, brush the powder away afterwards and wash the plate with water before the next test. Quartz and other minerals harder than the plate scratch it rather than leaving a streak of their own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the streak of a mineral?
Streak is the colour of the mineral in powdered form, seen when it is rubbed across an unglazed plate. It is a more reliable identification clue than the colour of the solid specimen.
Which streak colours does the collection cover?
Light blue, white, colourless, brown grey, black, yellow grey, reddish, brown, greenish black and brown gold — one for each of the 10 specimens.
Is a streak plate included?
No. The listing covers the 10 minerals; white and black streak plates are separate catalogue items that can go on the same order.
Why can a mineral’s streak differ from its colour?
Impurities and the way light reflects from a solid surface alter the colour you see, but grinding the mineral to powder removes most of those effects, so the streak shows its characteristic colour.
Who manufactures the streak collection?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, prepares it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of earth science and educational lab equipment, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The streak collection is assembled at JLab’s own works instead of being bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order it factory-direct; every set is visually inspected before dispatch, and reorders and matching streak plates come from the same works. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Namibia in Southern Africa, Lithuania in Northern Europe, Oman in the Middle East, Morocco in North Africa and DR Congo in Central Africa. For tender purchases, see the JLab lab tenders page.
