Mineral specimens are cut in a variety of sizes to meet various user needs, with common uses including identification on the part of students, displays to be used during lectures and demonstrations, or as chips for convenient physical identification tests in labs. These mineral specimens also demonstrate a number of classic geological features, such as cleavage, and collections of minerals can be used to test the Mohs hardness of other minerals and compare them.

The Meteorite Study Set
Supplier: Jensan Educational
Every day the Earth is peppered with rocks from space. The small bits of solar system rock and metal, believed to be fragments of asteroids, burn up in the atmosphere. At night we see them as the swift meteors, or “shooting stars”. Bigger pieces of the same material can plunge all the way through the atmosphere and land on the ground as meteorites. The set includes actual meteorites, one iron and one stony, a specimen of impactite and three minerals which help teach about the composition of meteorites.
