2 Naturally Occurring crystallization Minerals are formed by the solution of materials once dissolved in a. 90% of all minerals are classified as silicates (contain oxygen and silicon) other mineral families: carbonates, phosphates, oxides Crystallization occurs as the solution either cools or evaporates (these minerals are called evaporites) The slower the process, the the crystals.

NOT Inorganic Minerals are made of materials that were once living part of a thing. Graphite Example: is made of carbon that NOT was part of any thing.

3 Crystals are made up of (or particles) that are arranged atoms in a pattern. Properties of a mineral, such as and hardness repeating shape crystal, are determined by its arrangement atoms structure (or the of its ). Most common crystal structures: 1. Cubic 2. Rhombohedral Most common crystal structures: 3. Hexagonal Halite Calcite 4. Tetrahedral some quartz Diamond 3

All depends on the internal arrangement of the. atoms irregular way. Fracture: Breaks apart in an Most fractures are rough however, some are a smooth shell shaped fracture or a smooth recessed fracture known as a conchoidal (con-coy-dal) fracture. Fracture and Cleavage Breaks easily along FLAT Cleavage: surfaces. Recognized by the appearance of very flat shelf-like surfaces after breakage. May 5 6:48 AM 6
