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.

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