THE SWIFT 'MINERAL' STAGE FORCEPS
The three-pronged or 'Mineral' forceps provides for holding hard or irregularly-shaped objects.
The forceps can be opened by pushing the triangular piece furthest from the points forward, or closed by pulling it backwards. Hard small objects are better held by a small 'stage vice'.
