Minerals Around Us BY: Hannah Byssainthe

Fluoride Sodium Fluoride it the most important ingredient in toothpaste. But it is also one of the main ingredient in rat poisoning. It also helps reduce the amount of cavities! Chemical Formula: F-

Topaz Topaz is a silicate mineral of aluminum and fluoride Chemical formula: Al 2SiO4(F,OH) 2

Sapphire Sapphire is the most precious and valuable blue gemstone It is very desirable because of the color, durability, and luster.

Gold The symbol for Gold is Au (from Latin: aurum). The melting point for Gold is: 1,948 degrees Fahrenheit. The atomic number: 79

Talc Most Talc deposits in the United States are metamorphic rocks on the eastern side of the Appalachian Mountains Talc is represented as a secondary mineral

Diamond Diamonds are formed under crushing pressures and intense heat Diamond-Bearing rock is carried from the mantle to Earth’s crust Most of us, if not all, know that diamond is number ten on the Moh’s Scale, which makes it the hardest mineral

Pyrite Pyrite is used as an important ore to produce sulfur and sulfuric acid. How to remember: P.S = Natural Gas or Crude Oil Processing Most of us know that pyrite is used to make Fool’s Gold

Silicate Silicate creates salt which we use in our everyday foods. Silicate minerals are rock forming minerals, constituting approximately 90% of earths crust

Copper Copper has a reddish-orange color and is often used in pennies Its symbol, Cu, comes from the Latin, cuprum. The Atomic number is 29

Ruby Ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone. The name comes from ruber, Latin for red. Ruby is worth around $10,000 - $25,000. Ruby is the worlds most expensive gem.
