Ch. 13 Minerals  Minerals are naturally formed solids with a crystalline structure  Minerals are made of atoms and compounds  Crystals have definate.

Warm Up Minerals that are silicates contain ___________ and ____________. **Turn in your mineral vocabulary to the HW box!!***

Identifying Minerals  There are seven ways to identify a mineral.  1. Color  2. Luster  3. Streak  4. Cleavage and Fracture  5. Hardness  6. Density.

Mineral Identification. Color Most notable characteristic Caused by presence of trace elements or compounds Least reliable way to identify a mineral because:

What they are, how they form, and how we use ‘em.

How to Identify Minerals By: (write your name) Draw a picture here.

Sometimes you need more information than just color and appearance to identify most minerals.

Mineral Identification

Mineral Identification We look at physical properties to identify Hardness Streak Luster Cleavage Fracture Density

A mineral’s resistance to being scratched Hardness Moh’s scale

Streak Color of the powder left behind when a mineral is scraped across a surface

Is it shiny??? Luster: Metallic Non-Metallic

Fracture Cleavage Breaks into Irregular pieces Breaks along flat surfaces Cleavage

Fracture

Cleavage

Density: how much stuff is crammed in there
