Learn about mineral hardness and the Mohs hardness scale, cleavage and fracture, tenacity, and the streak and color of minerals. You will also learn what a mineral is and find out more about each of the specimens included. The kit includes numbers to attach to each mineral once you've identified it for easy reference in the future. Once you've numbered each mineral specimen, store them in the included collection tray.
