I used this kit on a rock I have and was able to figure out pretty closely what it is. It’s a nice little kit for beginner geologists.

This was perfect for identifying some of my rocks that I picked up along my hikes. I would of liked a better streak plate guide and a little more detail on how to use. I would order again.

This mineral testing kit rocked our Earth Rocks adventure with the Webelos den! It was spot-on for what we needed, making rock identification/MOHS testing a breeze. Awesome value for the price. Totally recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Copper is a square piece, not a penny. The glass is thick and as the streak plates, easy to handle.

If this is your first kit, it'll work fine. I was traveling with mine so the HUGE ASS nail was less than ideal. The magnifying glass is OK, I'll be upgrading that immediately.

A little surprised at the small size of the magnet, glass, and streakers. They just look bigger in the picture. But maybe it's cause the nail is so damn huge it tricks your eye. It worked, it would be a great stocking stuffer for a young kid or if you needed 30 if them for a class it would be a decent price for your money.

I used it for a week on a geo trip, definitely upgrading upon return
