Product Description

This 10-sample streak collection lets students identify minerals by streak color, the color a mineral leaves when rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate. Streak testing is a key mineral identification technique because a mineral’s streak color is often more reliable than its surface color, and this set gives students practical experience distinguishing metallic and non-metallic lusters. It supports foundational earth science coursework at the secondary and university level.
