Product Code : EL-ERAM-4376
Jlab Export is a leading Minerals Tenacity Collection (Set of 10) Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Minerals Tenacity Collection (Set of 10) (code EL-ERAM-4376) is a set of 10 mineral specimens that show tenacity — how the particles of a mineral hold together or resist separation — with brittle, sectile, malleable, flexible and elastic examples. It is used in school and college geology, geography and earth science practicals on the physical properties of minerals. Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) prepares the collection at its works in Ambala, India.

Tenacity Terms and What They Mean
| Term | How the mineral behaves | Textbook example |
|---|---|---|
| Brittle | Breaks or crumbles into fragments or powder when struck | Quartz |
| Sectile | Can be cut into thin shavings with a knife | Gypsum |
| Malleable | Can be hammered into thin sheets without breaking | Native gold, native copper |
| Flexible | Bends and stays bent when the force is removed | Chlorite, talc |
| Elastic | Bends and springs back to its original shape | Mica |
| Softness, tensile, fragility | Named in the listing but not standard tenacity terms | Ask JLab which specimens show them |

What Is the Minerals Tenacity Collection Used For?
Students often confuse tenacity with hardness. Hardness is resistance to scratching; tenacity is how a mineral responds when it is cut, bent, hammered or pulled — whether it shatters, shaves, flattens, stays bent or springs back. A thin flake of mica that springs back while a chlorite flake stays bent, or a knife that shaves gypsum but makes quartz crumble, makes the difference clear. Recording tenacity alongside hardness, cleavage and fracture builds a fuller description of each mineral.
The collection is used in rocks-and-minerals units in secondary schools, in college geology and earth science practicals and in teacher training. Knife and hammer tests should be demonstrated by the teacher, with eye protection, on small spare fragments rather than on the reference specimens.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 sets.
- Specimen list — ask for it, including which minerals represent softness, tensile and fragility.
- Companion sets — fracture, cleavage and hardness collections for a complete physical-properties practical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does tenacity mean for a mineral?
Tenacity describes how the particles of a mineral hold together or resist separation — in practice, how it behaves when cut, bent, hammered or pulled.
Which tenacity types does the set show?
The listing names brittle, sectile, malleable, flexible and elastic tenacity, plus softness, tensile and fragility, across the 10 specimens.
How is tenacity different from hardness?
Hardness measures resistance to scratching on the Mohs scale. Tenacity is about breaking, bending and deforming, so a hard mineral such as quartz can still be brittle.
Who manufactures the tenacity collection?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) prepares it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an educational lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The tenacity collection is made up at JLab’s own works, not bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy direct from the maker; each set is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders come from the same works. For tax and trade identification the company quotes GSTIN 06AADCJ9848D1ZE and Legal Entity Identifier 549300DTGS77DGYD6N03. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Botswana in Southern Africa, Libya in North Africa, Tanzania in East Africa, Yemen in the Middle East and Afghanistan in South Asia. Tender buyers can use the JLab lab tenders page.
