Specific Gravity Collection, Set of 10 This 10-specimen specific gravity collection lets students calculate mineral density by comparing mass against volume, supporting foundational petrology and physics lessons.
Specific Gravity Collection, Set of 10 is priced at approximately ₹375 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
Product Description
This 10-specimen specific gravity collection lets students calculate mineral density through comparative mass analysis. Specific gravity — the ratio of a mineral’s weight to an equal volume of water — is a key quantitative property used in mineral identification, and this set gives students a standardized baseline for practicing the calculation. It supports foundational petrology and physics coursework at the secondary and university level.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is specific gravity, and why does it matter for mineral identification?
Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral’s weight to an equal volume of water — it’s a quantitative property that helps distinguish minerals with similar appearance but different density.
What is the exact composition of the 10 specimens?
This has not been independently verified for this listing — confirm with STEMAids before ordering.
Is this suitable for physics coursework, not just geology?
Yes — specific gravity collections of this kind are used in physics classes covering density and buoyancy concepts.
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 density or mass-based mineral sets?
Yes — STEMAids offers related density-focused specimen sets in this category; contact STEMAids to confirm current availability.
