1 1 2 Earth Materials: Minerals What is a mineral? Properties/characteristics of different types of minerals Mineral structures and bonding Major categories of minerals Importance and uses of minerals What is a mineral? Requirements for something to be considered a mineral: - naturally occurring - inorganic - solid - crystalline - contains specific composition of elements Three general categories: Optical Physical Chemical 3 Some optical properties Color Streak Luster Double refraction Fluorescence Transmission of light (transparent, translucent, or opaque) 4 5 Streak Example: hematite Fig Minerals of various colors 1
2 Metallic luster: gold and pyrite 7 Double refraction in a transparent piece of calcite 8 Non-metallic luster: feldspar, mica, olivine, and quartz 9 10 Some physical properties Hardness Density Crystal shape How it breaks: cleavage and fracture 11 How a mineral breaks: 12 Fracture - when a mineral breaks along irregular surfaces - any mineral may exhibit fracture - some particular types of fracture have names: irregular (rough with no particular pattern), conchoidal (with smooth, curved surfaces like glass), fibrous or splintery (similar to broken wood), etc. Crystal of galena (left) (lead sulfide) Crystal of quartz (right) (silicon dioxide) Galena, which contains lead, is much more dense than quartz. The two minerals also have different crystal shapes. Fig 2.10 Cleavage - when a mineral breaks along flat, planar surfaces - some minerals have cleavage & others do not - key observations: - number of different cleavage directions - angle between cleavage directions 2

Chernicoff botryoidal malachite (green) with azurite (blue) (hydrous copper carbonates) stellate pyrite (iron sulfide) In-class exercise Relationship to: Working in groups, examine and describe the properties of each mineral sample provided atomic composition atomic structure and bonding Chemical bonds - how multiple atoms are held together ionic - attraction between ions of opposite electrical charge - example: Na+ and Cl- ions combine to form halite - the most common type of bonding in minerals covalent - sharing of electrons between atoms - the strongest type of chemical bond - metals have a particular type of covalent bond called a metallic bond other types of bonding e.g. van der Waals bonds, a very weak type of bonding 23 Graphite and Diamond Both are composed of carbon but have very different properties. Fig

Therefore, both grow and break to form cubes. Their color and luster are different, however, because they have different compositions (and bonding). Fig Some major groups of minerals 30 Silicates e.g. quartz, feldspar, mica, olivine Non-silicates: Carbonates Oxides Sulfides Sulfates Native elements Halides e.g. calcite e.g. magnetite, hematite e.g. pyrite, galena e.g. gypsum e.g. native gold, copper e.g. halite 5
