Our department is searching for a source of rock and mineral kits that we can send out to online students. Does anyone know of a good source? Anything would be better than what we have now!

When COVID hit…we looked to this company: https://www.geoed1.com/. They had a variety of kits that worked well and I believe they also were willing to create a kit that was unique to our institution if we were going to be purchasing a lot of them. Here’ are some of our favorites: > Introductory to Rock Forming Mineral Kits - 1414-000 - https://www.geoed1.com/mineral-collections.html > > Rock and Mineral Test Kits - 0900-K1B - https://www.geoed1.com/mineral-collections.html > > Classroom Rock Collection Kits - 1320-010 - https://www.geoed1.com/rock-collections.html Hope that helps, -Dori ————— Dr. Dori Farthing Assoc.

We have recently purchased some mineral and rock kits from VWR, the original supplier is Ward’s Science. They are relatively inexpensive. https://us.vwr.com/store/product?keyword=470025-186 https://us.vwr.com/store/product?keyword=470025-188 https://us.vwr.com/store/product?keyword=470025-222 https://us.vwr.com/store/product?keyword=470025-224 https://us.vwr.com/store/product?keyword=470025-226 Youjun Deng, Ph.D. Associate professor of Soil and Clay Mineralogy Texas A&M University From: Perkins, Dexter via MSA-talk <msa-talk@minlists.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 1, 2024 2:13 PM To: MSA list (msa-talk@minlists.org) <msa-talk@minlists.org> Subject: [MSA-talk] rock and mineral kits Our department is searching for a source of rock and mineral kits that we can send out to online students.
