Quick Answer: A general-purpose set of 20 labelled common minerals, sized as a broad first survey of mineralogy before moving on to property-specific themed sets or a larger reference collection.
Product Description
The Mineral Set, Collection of 20 Minerals is designed as a school’s entry point into mineral collecting and identification. Rather than focusing on a single property such as luster or hardness, it gives students a general survey across a range of common minerals, supporting broad familiarity before diving into more specialised topics.
This makes it a practical starting purchase for a department building its first proper mineral shelf: it covers enough variety for introductory sorting, comparison and vocabulary-building exercises, while leaving room to add themed property sets (cleavage, luster, hardness) or a larger general collection later as the curriculum develops.
Because the 20-specimen size sits between our smaller themed sets and our larger 30, 50 and 70-specimen mineral collections, it works well for classes that want breadth without the cost or storage demands of the largest options.
