Embark on a fascinating voyage of discovery with this colorful 60-specimen mineral and rock collection, representing 78 elements on the periodic table.
Many specimens are naturally colorful, crystalline, metallic, or texturally distinctive, giving the collection strong visual variety and scientific value. If you bought these specimens individually, the total cost would be ~$4200 on today's market. In-color spiral-bound Teacher's Guide included.
Learn and Teach Multiple Scientific Concepts
This hands-on collection highlights its diversity and connects the periodic table to the subjects: chemistry, mineralogy, geology, Earth science, rare minerals, environmental science, natural resources, and the biological sciences. You learn how chemical elements naturally occur in minerals, native elements, and rocks rather than simply presenting purified laboratory samples. Multiple handouts help you fathom these different subjects with ease.

60 Specimens Representing 78 Elements
Many minerals contain several chemical elements within their crystal structure, so one specimen may represent more than one element. Together, the 60 specimens represent 78 elements and demonstrate how those elements naturally occur in Earth's minerals and rocks.
The laminated Elements of the Periodic Table chart includes element names, chemical symbols, and atomic numbers, and identifies the specimen representing each included element. Its symbol key identifies Toxic Elements, At-Risk / Endangered Elements, Synthetic & Radioactive Elements, and Radioactive & Toxic Elements.
Questions About the Periodic Table Collection
How is this collection different from a periodic table with real elements?
A periodic table with real elements typically contains just pure, usually dull elemental samples. This collection instead shows how 78 elements naturally occur in minerals, native elements, and rocks in an interesting way. This is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary study - all in one collection! In-color 200-page Teacher's Guide included!
Why do 60 specimens represent 78 elements?
Many minerals contain several elements, so one specimen can represent more than one element on the periodic table.
Are the specimens actual rocks and minerals?
Yes. The collection contains real rock, mineral, and native-element specimens selected to represent 78 elements.
What sciences can this collection support?
The collection connects chemistry with mineralogy, geology, Earth science - including astronomy, materials science, environmental science, natural resources, and the biological sciences.
What does the periodic table chart show?
The laminated chart shows all 118 elements with names, symbols, and atomic numbers, and identifies the 78 elements represented by the specimens.
How are toxic mineral specimens protected?
Toxic specimens are clearly identified and housed in covered, openable 1-inch square Perky containers.
