Unlike other kits that use fragile mineral samples or crystal points, this set uses metal and alloy tips calibrated with hardness values from 2 to 9 on the Mohs scale, providing a more practical, durable, and precise testing method. Thanks to their sharpenable and non-fragile metal tips, the picks offer long-term, reliable use. The set also includes complementary tools such as hardness plates, a grinding stone, a magnet, and a hardness identification chart\u2014all housed in a compact and elegant handcrafted wooden case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPECIFICATIONS:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u27a2 Hardness range: 2 to 9 on the Mohs scale<br data-start=\"197\" data-end=\"200\" \/>\u27a2 Format: 4 double-ended picks (8 tips total)<br data-start=\"245\" data-end=\"248\" \/>\u27a2 Material: Sharpenable metal alloys<br data-start=\"284\" data-end=\"287\" \/>\u27a2 Storage case: Handmade natural wood<br data-start=\"324\" data-end=\"327\" \/>\u27a2 Case dimensions: 17.8 cm (height) \u00d7 6.3 cm (width) | 7\u201d \u00d7 2.5\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>SET CONTENTS:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u27a2 4 double-ended picks, color-coded, with tips for hardness levels: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9<br data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"512\" \/>\u27a2 Glass plate (approx. hardness 5.5) to distinguish between hard and soft minerals<br data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"597\" \/>\u27a2 2 additional hardness plates: 2.5 and 3.5<br data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"643\" \/>\u27a2 100-grit grinding stone for sharpening tips<br data-start=\"688\" data-end=\"691\" \/>\u27a2 Streak plate to test a mineral\u2019s streak color<br data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"741\" \/>\u27a2 Magnet for identifying ferromagnetic minerals like magnetite or metallic meteorites<br data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"829\" \/>\u27a2 Hardness chart featuring more than 300 classified minerals<br data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"892\" \/>\u27a2 Complete user instructions<\/p>\n<p><strong>FEATURES:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span>\u27a2 High-precision, sharpenable, and durable metal tips that won\u2019t fracture like traditional crystal tools<br data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1047\" \/>\u27a2 Color-coded bodies with engraved hardness values for quick and easy identification<br data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1134\" \/>\u27a2 Individually replaceable tips, no need to replace entire pick body<br data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1205\" \/>\u27a2 Compact, durable wooden case, ideal for field or lab use<br data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1266\" \/>\u27a2 Portable and professional design, perfect as a primary kit or educational backup<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Deluxe Hardness Pick Set by Mineralab is a professional, portable kit for accurately testing mineral hardness (2\u20139 Mohs scale) using durable, sharpenable metal tips.
