This is a standard jeweler's loupe with a stated magnification of 10x. Optical quality is good, but I think 10x is optimistic. It produces a good image, but I think the actual magnification is a little less, maybe 8x.
Either way, it's a good loupe for the money. It has a glass lens, metal body, and a loop for a lanyard. I carry a cheap loupe on a cord like this when I go out into the field. I leave my good one at home, and if I lose or drop the cheapie, then it's no big loss. It comes with a little felt-lined plastic carry case. Made in China, of course.
Every meteorite, mineral, or fossil collector should have one of these.
Refer to the photos. The black centimeter cube is shown for scale and is not included.
