Fracture Collection, Set of 10

Fracture Collection, Set of 10 This 10-specimen fracture collection helps students differentiate between cleavage planes and irregular fracture patterns like conchoidal and hackly breaks.

Fracture Collection, Set of 10 is priced at approximately ₹350 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

Product Description

This 10-specimen fracture collection helps students differentiate between cleavage planes and irregular fracture patterns. Minerals break in characteristic ways — some along flat cleavage planes, others in irregular patterns like conchoidal (curved) or hackly (jagged) fractures — and this set gives students standardized hand specimens for comparing those breakage types directly. It supports secondary and vocational earth science physical property analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cleavage and fracture?

Cleavage occurs along flat, predictable planes, while fracture is irregular breakage — this set lets students compare both directly using types like conchoidal and hackly fractures.

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 earlier ‘Group of Minerals with Different Fractures’ listing?

Both cover fracture identification; confirm with STEMAids whether the specimen sets differ to avoid ordering duplicate material.

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.
