Educational Rock and Minerals

Educational Rock and Minerals covers 88 specimen sets and individual samples — rocks, minerals, ores, metals, soils and clays — used for hands-on geology and earth-science teaching in school and college labs. Rather than a diagram of a rock type, students handle an actual labelled specimen, which is standard practice in earth-science practicals for identification and classification exercises. LabEquip supplies this range to schools, colleges and technical training institutes, with the exact specimen count and labelling set out on each product page.

The Range: What’s in Educational Rock and Minerals

For a general geology starter set, the A Collection of Rocks and Minerals Consisting of 12 Samples gives a lab a labelled cross-section of common rock and mineral types in one purchase. Metallurgy and mineral-resource topics are covered by the Ores Set, Collection of 20 Metallic Ores and the Metal Set, Collection of 12 Metals, useful together for teaching how metals are extracted from their source ores.

Soil science is covered by the Collection of Soils & Clays, and applied/economic geology by the Minerals Used in Building a House, Set of 10, which connects mineral identification to everyday construction materials. Mineral-property teaching is supported by the A Group of Minerals with Different Fractures set, and rock-classification teaching by individual specimens such as Gneiss Rock.
