Mohs Hardness Set, Collection of 9 Mohs Hardness Set

Mohs Hardness Set, Collection of 9 Mohs Hardness Set This 9-specimen Mohs hardness set gives students a hands-on reference scale for determining relative mineral scratch resistance, a core mineral identification technique.

Mohs Hardness Set, Collection of 9 Mohs Hardness Set is priced at approximately ₹365 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

Product Description

This 9-specimen Mohs hardness set gives students a hands-on reference scale for determining relative mineral scratch resistance. The Mohs scale ranks minerals by their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals, and having reference specimens across the scale lets students test unknown samples against known hardness benchmarks. It supports foundational petrology and civil engineering coursework at the university and secondary TVET levels.

What is the Mohs hardness scale?

It’s a 1-to-10 relative hardness scale used to identify minerals by testing which minerals can scratch, or be scratched by, others — this 9-specimen set gives students reference points across that scale.

What is the exact list of 9 specimens included?

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

Is this suitable for TVET civil engineering modules?

Yes — Mohs hardness sets of this kind are used in TVET programs to teach material hardness assessment.

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 reference sets?

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