Minerals ***A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, solid with a crystalline structure and a consistent chemical composition***.

 Minerals are naturally occurring substances.  They are often solid with a definite chemical composition.  They have an orderly arrangement of atoms,

Ionic radius is related to the valence of the ion - ions that have lost electrons (cations) are smaller than their neutral state, ions that have gained.

Color adds value to gems N. Lindsley-Griffin, 1999

Streak, the color of the mineral’s powder, may be more useful than color in identifying a mineral N. Lindsley-Griffin, 1998

© Houghton Mifflin 1998; Lindsley, 2000 The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of silicate minerals Four oxygen ions surround a much smaller silicon ion Structure of Silicate Minerals Most rocks consist of silicate minerals.

The silicate tetrahedron consists of 4 large oxygen atoms around a smaller silicon atom Two tetrahedrons link together by sharing an oxygen at one corner Expanded View N. Lindsley-Griffin, 1999

Silicate tetrahedrons can form chains, sheets, and three-dimensional nets by sharing their oxygen atoms. Each influences mineral properties. N. Lindsley-Grifin, 1999

Polymorphs are minerals with the same chemical composition, but different internal atomic structures N. Lindsley-Griffin, 1998
