Streak Plate 2" x 1" These 1" x 2" unglazed porcelain tiles are ideal for streak testing of mineral samples. The streak test is essential in mineral identification because the color of the streak left after rubbing the mineral on the tile is often very different than the color you see looking at the mineral. Hematite, a black or gray iron ore, has a red streak. Gold makes a gold streak, while pyrite or "fools gold" makes a black streak. No prospector should be without one of these.

Most commercial fluorescent ores are brightest under a shortwave lamp, the most important being scheelite, or tungsten ore. Carry strap included. Overall length 6.5 inches, lens 5/8" x 1-5/8". Uses 4 AA batteries (not included).
