The set is housed in a compartmented collection box, and a comprehensive study guide and identification list is included.Contents:22 unnumbered samples, 1″ x 1″; streak plateMinerals:Hardness: apatite, calcite, fluorite, microcline, quartz, selenite, talcClevage/Fracture: calcite, feldspar, halite, mica, quartz (obsidian), serpentineTenacity: copper, mica, selenite, sulfurStreak: graphite, hematite, magnetite, pyrite, talc
