Geological Survey of Canada Prospector Rock and Mineral Sets.
on: October 30, 2021, 01:39:04 PM
I could not believe my eyes. Our department was throwing out these sets because it is no longer valid with current curriculum. This was a good 10 or so years ago. I managed to save a few sets, and I kept one for myself. These were meant to help prospectors quickly identify the various rocks and minerals encountered in the field in Canada. Each set come with a nice related poster, a couple of cardboard sample boxes and stickers to affix to the samples. Included are instructions and several guides. These are beautiful sets.

A bit of history.
