Vintage EDCO Rock and Mineral Specimen Set with 20 Samples

This vintage EDCO Rock and Mineral Specimen Set offers a fascinating glimpse into geology, presented in its original cardboard box. The set features 20 different natural rock and mineral samples, each individually bagged and neatly arranged within compartmentalised sections. The sturdy light brown cardboard box has a simple label on the lid reading 'ROCK & MINERAL SET - 20 SPECIMENS'. Lifting the lid reveals a blue cardboard insert, titled 'THE EDCO ROCK AND MINERAL SET', which meticulously lists each rock and mineral type alongside its typical origin, such as Sandstone from Cumbria (England) and Quartz from U.S.A. The specimens themselves exhibit a variety of colours, including shades of grey, white, brown, black, and pink, reflecting their natural composition. Each small sample is enclosed in a clear plastic bag to protect it. The set is in good vintage condition. The cardboard box shows some expected signs of age and wear, including light scuffs and marks consistent with its era. The specimens remain intact and well-preserved within their bags. The descriptive insert is clear and legible. This complete set is an ideal item for educational display, a budding geologist's collection, or as a unique piece of scientific memorabilia for a home office or library.
