Cleavage Collection, Set of 10

Cleavage Collection, Set of 10 This 10-specimen cleavage collection demonstrates precise crystallographic cleavage planes, letting students evaluate how atomic structure influences mineral breakage patterns.

Cleavage Collection, Set of 10 is priced at approximately ₹180 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

Product Description

This 10-specimen cleavage collection demonstrates precise crystallographic cleavage planes. Cleavage occurs when a mineral breaks along flat, predictable planes determined by its internal atomic structure, and this set gives students specimens for evaluating how atomic arrangement influences physical breakage patterns. It supports mineralogy and petrology coursework in earth science laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is mineral cleavage?

It’s how a mineral breaks along flat, predictable planes determined by its internal atomic structure — different from irregular fracture, which this category also covers in a separate set.

What is the exact list of 10 specimens included?

This has not been independently verified for this listing — confirm with STEMAids before ordering.

How does this differ from the Fracture Collection?

Cleavage covers predictable, plane-based breakage, while fracture covers irregular breakage patterns like conchoidal or hackly — the two sets complement each other for comprehensive breakage-property teaching.

Does this carry a specific quality certification?

Any certification is manufacturer-stated — verify current certification and scope directly with STEMAids before relying on it.

Does STEMAids supply other mineral property identification sets?

Yes — STEMAids offers streak, tenacity, and specific gravity sets in this category; contact STEMAids to confirm current availability.
