Educational collection: Electrical & magnetic properties

Product information "Educational collection: Electrical & magnetic properties"

  • 18 minerals
  • Specimens: approx. 20 x 20 mm
  • in a plastic collector’s case

This collection uses various minerals to demonstrate diamagnetism, paramagnetism,
and ferromagnetism, as well as pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity, and provides examples
of conductors, non-conductors, and insulators.
The specimens are numbered according to the contents list.

Our collections are handcrafted by Dr. F. Krantz in Bonn.  
Please note that minerals are natural products and no two specimens will ever look
exactly alike.

Due to technical limitations, colors in product photos may vary slightly from those of the actual specimen.
Our images are intended as reference; upon purchase, you will receive a collection of equivalent quality.

Educational Collection: Cleavage (12 minerals)

12 mineralsSpecimens: approx. 20 x 20 mmin a segmented plastic collector's case When minerals break into smooth surfaces along specific, parallel planes in the crystal lattice under mechanical pressure, we refer to this property as "cleavage." This property ranges on a scale from highly perfect cleavage to no cleavage at all, as is the case with quartz, for example. This collection showcases the most important types of cleavage using 12 minerals.  The specimens are numbered according to the list of contents.Our collections are handcrafted by Dr. F. Krantz in Bonn. Please note that minerals are natural products and no two specimens will ever look exactly alike.Due to technical limitations, colors in product photos may differ slightly from those of the actual specimen. Our images are meant as reference; upon purchase, you will receive one collection of equivalent quality.

Educational Collection: Streak color (9 minerals)

9 mineralsspecimens: 20 x 20 mm each in a plastic case with 10 compartments includes a streak plate In mineralogy, the term “streak color” or simply “streak” refers to the color of the powder produced when a mineral is rubbed against a rough, unglazed  porcelain surface—such as a streak plate. It is a common method for identifying specimens that appear similar in color. This classroom collection is used to compare the streak color with the intrinsic color of minerals. It comes with a porcelain streak plate.The specimens are numbered according to the contents list. Our collections are handcrafted by Dr. F. Krantz in Bonn.  Please note that minerals are natural products and no two specimens will ever look exactly alike.
