11
4 Characteristics of ALL Minerals 1. 2. 3. 4.
12
Mineral Families You can tell which family a mineral belongs to by looking at its formula. There are 9 families to learn:
13
1.Native elements Minerals that are from 1 element –Gold: Au –Copper: Cu –Silver: Ag –Carbon: C –Sulfur: S
14
2. Halides Halogen Group. Halite: NaCl – salt, rock salt Fluorite: CaF2
15
3. Oxides Minerals with oxygen –Ice H20 –Corundum Al2O3 –Hematite (Fe2O3) –Magnetite (Fe3O4),
16
4. Sulfides Minerals with sulfur; rotten egg smell Galena (PbS for lead used in pipes and bullets), Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2, copper & iron ore AKA fool’s gold) Pyrrhotite (Fe4S) Pyrite – Iron ore – cars, steel buildings (FeS2) Sphalorite - ZnS Bornite – Cu5FeS4 copper ore – pipes, wire
17
5. Carbonates Minerals with Carbonate (C03) Calcite – (CaCO3), – very abundant Dolomite – (CaMg(CO3)2) lime Azurite - Cu3(CO3)2 Malachite – Cu2(CO3)( copper ore and ornamental
18
6. Sulfates Minerals with Sulfate S04 gypsum (CaSO4 · 2H2O), – plaster of Paris, wall board barite (BaSO4)
19
7. Hydroxides Minerals with a metal plus hydroxide (OH-) limonite (iron hydroxide) Fe40i(OH)2 bauxite (aluminum hydroxide) Al(OH)3
20
8. Phosphates Minerals with a metal plus phosphate (PO4) –Apatite - Ca5(PO4)3F
21
9. Silicates Minerals with silicate tetrahedron SiO4 90% of rock forming minerals Not ores Examples: Quartz (most common mineral) Opal, talc, mica, hornblende, topaz, feldspar,olivine Look for Si O in formulas KAlSi3O8, Al2SiO4, SiO2*H2O
22
Different Arrangements of SiO4
