Properties of Minerals

5 Characteristics of Minerals Naturally occurring - Inorganic - Solid - Crystal Structure - Definite chemical composition Not Man Made Must come from abiotic factors Definite shape & volume Repeating patterns “faces” Contains certain elements in definite proportions

According to the definition of a mineral, can water be classified as a mineral? Explain.

Identifying Minerals Hardness Color Streak Luster Density Crystal Systems Cleavage and Fracture Special Properties http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/K12/properties/minpropindex.html

Compare and Contrast quartz and sulfur.

How are cleavage and fracture similar? Different?

Why can’t you rely on any single test or property to identify a mineral?

Formation of Minerals 2 methods Crystallization of melted materials. Size of Crystals depends on … Crystallization of melted materials. Crystallization of materials dissolved in H2O Rate of magma cooling Amount of gas magma contains Composition of magma
