This rock collection set has two boxes of specimens: 15 rocks and 15 mineral samples. While specimens are numbered as a differentiation aid, no identification key is provided. Instead, this set is best for students working to identify the various rock and mineral samples through their course work.

Along with the rock and mineral specimens, this set also has tools to test, study, and conduct mineral identification. This mineral kit and rock set also includes compartmented storage boxes.
