Mineralogy• Minerals:
1. Naturally occurring = not man made (but some can be)
2. Inorganic
3. Crystalline solid
a) cubic (dice) ex: halite, galena, pyrite
b) dodacahedron (12 sides) ex: garnet
c) octagonal (2 pyramids, base to base) ex: diamond
d) prism terminated by a pyramid ex: quartz

4. Narrowly defined chemical composition
a) native elements: Au (gold), C (grpahite, diamond), Pt (platinum), Ag (silver)
b) compounds: SiO2 (quartz), NaCl (halite = salt)
*sometimes some elements can substitute within the same mineral.

• 3500 minerals but only about 24 are common
• Number of minerals dependent on:– Some combinations of elements are impossible– Only 8 elements make up the bulk of the Earth’s
crust.– REMEMBER: O Si Al Fe (4 most common
1st 4th elements)

• Minerals are divided into groups.
A) silicates: contain Si & O– Quartz, – feldspars, – muscovite, – biotite, mica family– Chlorite– Talc– Augite– Hornblende– Garnet– Asbestos– Olivine

B) Oxides: an element + O (metallic mineral)
– hematite (looks like blood)
– limonite– magnetite

C) Sulphides: ion+ + sulfur (metallic mineral)
– pyrite “fools’ gold”– chalcopyrite– pyrrhotite– galena– sphalerite– molybdenite “flakey chick”– bornite “peacock rock”

• D) Carbonates +CO3
– Calcite– Malachite– Azurite
E) Sulphates + SO4
– gypsum

• F) Native Elements (metallic mineral)– Gold– Graphite
G) Halides + halogen– Halite– Fluorite
H) Phosphates + phosphate– apatite

• 5. Characteristic physical properties (how we identify them)– A) colour: non-fe-mg are lighter in colour– B) streak = colour of dust after dragging it on
a tile; silicates light, metallics dark– C) Luster: way it reflects light, usually metallic
or non-metallic

– E) Cleavage: tendency to break along a flat plane ie. 1 excellent, 3 poor, etc.
• Fracture: breakage along an irregular surface
–i.e. concoidal (glass), hackly, etc.

• G) Specific Gravity = density= density compared to water (1)
Average is about 3
Silicates: 2.7 – 4
Metallics: most >5
iron is 5.5, lead is 8, gold is 19
Heavy HD Ugg!

• H) other properties– i) HCl acid test: bubbling on
carbonates (calcite, malachite & azurite)
– ii) double refraction: perfect crystal of calcite
– iii) magnetic: magnetite– iv) fluorescent = glows a different
colour under UV light: fluorite
