Mineral
Analysis: Prefer
one ounce sample but can be run on less. Use physical and chemical tests like spectroscopic analysis, hardness, color, crystal form,
index of refraction, solubility in acid, fusibility to determine the physical characteristics
and chemical composition of the unknown mineral. Search a 3,696 mineral
database for the found characteristics to determine the identity of the mineral
sample and report the identity with a mineral fact sheet to the
customer. $20.00
Spectroscopic Analysis: Use the Vreeland
spectroscope to visually check for the presence and approximate quantity of 55
metals in the sample. The test can be run on a pin head sized piece but one
ounce of material is better. This method is best suited to determining the high
percentage metals present in a sample. $25.00
All
of the above tests are performed in my lab. All sample preparations are
included in the above prices. Reports are mailed or emailed to the customer.
