Minerals
Naturally occurring Inorganic solid ( not from living
matter)Has a definite structure; crystalsHas a definite composition; a
compound or element.

Minerals
Crystals =is a solid in which atoms are arranged in repeating patterns.
NaCl, table salt , forms a cubic crystal. Wulfenite forms a tetragonal crystal. Corundum = Hexagonal Gypsum = Monoclinic Topaz = Orthorhombic

Mineral : How they form…
1. Hot magma ( melted rock) cools to form minerals.
The types and amounts of elements in the magma determines which minerals form.
2. Crystals form from minerals dissolved in liquids.
When the liquid evaporates, mineral crystals are left behind.

How Minerals Form:
3. Precipitation out of solution is the third way.

Mineral Composition There are 90 elements that occur naturally;
98% of the Earth’s crust is made of only eight of these elements.
Oxygen is 46.6% Silicon is 27.7% Aluminum is 8.1% Iron is 5% Calcium is 3.6% Sodium is 2.8% Potassium is 2.6% Magnesium is 2.1%

Mineral Groups
There are about 4000 minerals. Most of the common minerals are in the
group called silicates. Silicates contain silicon, oxygen and
one or more other elements. Quartz and Feldspar are common
rock-forming minerals in the silicate group.
Feldspar

Mineral Properties Appearance – Color and general
appearance can help to identify a mineral.
Many minerals look very similar. Many minerals are found in different
colors.
Other properties must be used to identify minerals.

Mineral Properties
Hardness = The Mohs Scale of Hardness measures how easily a mineral can be scratched.
Talc is the softest, a 1 on the scale. Diamonds are the hardest, a 10.
Talc

Mineral Properties:Luster
Luster: how light is reflected from a mineral’s surface.
Metallic Luster = shines like metal Nonmetallic Luster = any mineral that
does not shine like metal. Nonmetallic can be : dull, pearly, or
silky.Orthoclase

Mineral Properties: Streak Streak is the color of the mineral when it
is broken up and powdered. The mineral is rubbed across a white,
unglazed, porcelain tile. Minerals harder than the streak plate (7)
will not have streak. Graphite (pure carbon) has streak on
paper. It is used in pencils, not lead.

Mineral Properties: Cleavage and Fracture Minerals that break with rough or jagged
edges have fracture. Minerals that break along smooth , flat
surfaces have Cleavage. Some minerals have unique
properties; Magnetite is magnetic, Calcite fizzes
with HCl ( acid).

Uses of Minerals Jewelry on the Web
Gems are rare and beautiful minerals which are cut and polished for jewelry.
Differences between gems and common minerals are small: Amethyst is a gem form of quartz (SiO2) with manganese traces. The Mn gives amethyst its purple color.

Uses of Minerals Ores is a mineral that is useful, and can
be mined for profit. Bauxite is a mineral ore used to make
aluminum.
