Section 1 What Is a Mineral?
Characteristics of Minerals
mineral a natural, usually inorganic solid that has a characteristic chemical composition, an orderly internal structure, and a characteristic set of physical properties.
To be a mineral, a substance must have four characteristics:
it must be inorganic—it cannot be made of or by living things;
it must occur naturally—it cannot be man-made;
it must be a crystalline solid;
it must have a consistent chemical composition.

7. Chapter 5 Kinds of Minerals Section 1 What Is a Mineral?
The 20 most common minerals are called rock-forming minerals because they form the rocks that make up Earth’s crust.
Ten minerals are so common that they make up 90% of Earth’s crust. These minerals are quartz, orthoclase, plagioclase, muscovite, biotite, calcite, dolomite, halite, gypsum, and ferromagnesian minerals.
All minerals can be classified into two main groups—silicate minerals and nonsilicate minerals—based on their chemical compositions.

Silicate Minerals
silicate mineral a mineral that contains a combination of silicon and oxygen, and that may also contain one or more metals
Common silicate minerals include quartz, feldspars, micas ,and ferromagnesian minerals, such as amphiboles, pyroxenes, and olivines.
Silicate minerals make up 96% of Earth’s crust. Quartz and feldspar alone make up more than 50% of the crust.

Nonsilicate Minerals
nonsilicate mineral a mineral that does not contain compounds of silicon and oxygen
Nonsilicate minerals comprise about 4% of Earth’s crust.
Nonsilicate minerals are organized into six major groups based on their chemical compositions.
The six major groups of nonsilicate minerals are carbonates, halides, native elements, oxides, sulfates, and sulfides.

12. Crystalline Structure
Chapter 5
Section 1 What Is a Mineral?
Crystalline Structure
Each type of mineral is characterized by a specific geometric arrangement of atoms, or its crystalline structure.
crystal a solid whose atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern
One way that scientists study the structure of crystals is by using X rays. X rays that pass through a crystal and strike a photographic plate produce an image that shows the geometric arrangement of the atoms in the crystal.

13. Crystalline Structure of Silicate Minerals
Chapter 5
Section 1 What Is a Mineral?
Crystalline Structure of Silicate Minerals
Even though there are many kinds of silicate minerals, their crystalline structure is made up of the same basic building blocks—silicon-oxygen tetrahedra.
silicon-oxygen tetrahedron the basic unit of the structure of silicate minerals; a silicon ion chemically bonded to and surrounded by four oxygen ions
Isolated Tetrahedral Silicates
In minerals that have isolated tetrahedra, only atoms other than silicon and oxygen atoms like silicon-oxygen tetrahedra together.
Olivine is an isolated tetrahedral silicate.

Ring Silicates
Ring silicates form when shared oxygen atoms join the tetrahedra to form three-, four-, or six-sided rings.
Beryl and tourmaline are ring silicates.
Single-Chain Silicates
In single-chain silicates, each tetrahedron is bonded to two others by shared oxygen atoms.
Most double-chain silicates are called pyroxenes.

Double-Chain Silicates
In double-chain silicates, two single chains of tetrahedra bond to each other.
Most double-chain silicates are called amphiboles.
Sheet Silicates
In the sheet silicates, each tetrahedron shares three oxygen atoms with other tetrahedra. The fourth oxygen atom bonds with an atom of aluminum or magnesium, which joins the sheets together.
The mica minerals, such as muscovite and biotite, are sheet silicates.

Framework Silicates
In the framework silicates, each tetrahedron is bonded to four neighboring tetrahedra to form a three-dimensional network.
Frameworks that contain only silicon-oxygen tetrahedra are the mineral quartz.
Other framework silicates contain some tetrahedra in which atoms of aluminum or other metals substitute for some of the silicon atoms.
Quartz and feldspars are framework silicates.

Chapter 5
Section 1 What Is a Mineral?
Crystalline Structure of Nonsilicate Minerals
Because nonsilicate minerals have diverse chemical compositions, nonsilicate minerals display a vast variety of crystalline structures.
Common crystalline structures for nonsilicate minerals include cubes, hexagonal prisms, and irregular masses.
The structure of a nonsilicate crystal determines the mineral’s characteristics.
In the crystal structure called closest packing, each metal atom is surrounded by 8 to 12 other metal atoms that are as close to each other as the charges of the atomic nuclei will allow.

Physical Properties of Minerals
mineralogist a person who examines, analyzes, and classifies minerals
Each mineral has specific properties that are the result of its chemical composition and crystalline structure.
These properties provide useful clues for identifying minerals.
Many of these properties can be identified by simply looking at a sample of the mineral or through simple tests.

Color
While color is a property that is easily observed, it is unreliable for the identification of minerals.
The color of a mineral sample can be affected by the inclusion of impurities or by weathering processes.
Streak
streak the color of a mineral in powdered form
Streak is more reliable than color for the identification of minerals.
Streak is determined by rubbing some of the mineral against an unglazed ceramic tile called a streak plate.

Luster
luster the way in which a mineral reflects light
A mineral is said to have a metallic luster if the mineral reflects light as a polished metal does.
All other minerals have nonmetallic luster.
There are several types of nonmetallic luster, including glassy, waxy, pearly, brilliant, and earthy.

Cleavage and Fracture
cleavage in geology, the tendency of a mineral to split along specific planes of weakness to form smooth, flat surfaces
fracture the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces
Uneven or irregular fractures have rough surfaces.
Splintery or fibrous fractures look like a piece of broken wood.
Curved surfaces are conchoidal fractures .

Hardness
The measure of the ability of a mineral to resist scratching is called hardness. Hardness does not mean “resistance to cleavage or fracture.”
The hardness of a mineral can be determined by comparing the mineral to minerals of Mohs hardness scale.
Mohs hardness scale the standard scale against which the hardness of minerals is rated.
The strength of the bonds between the atoms that make up a mineral’s internal structure determines the hardness of a mineral.

Crystal Shape
A mineral crystal forms in one of six basic shapes.
A certain mineral always has the same general shape because the atoms that form the mineral’s crystals always combine in the same geometric pattern.
The six basic crystal systems are the isometric or cubic system, the orthorhombic system, the tetragonal system, the hexagonal system, the monoclinic system, and the triclinic system.

Density
density the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of a substance; commonly expressed as grams per cubic centimeter for solids
The density of a mineral depends on the kinds of atoms in the mineral and on how closely the atoms are packed.
density = mass  volume

Special Properties of Minerals
A few minerals have some additional, special properties that can help identify those minerals.
Fluorescence and Phosphorescence
The ability to glow under ultraviolet light is called fluorescence.
Fluorescent minerals absorb ultraviolet light and then produce visible light of various colors.
The property of some minerals to glow after the ultraviolet light is turned off is called phosphorescence.

Chatoyancy and Asterism
In reflected light, some minerals display a silky appearance that is called chatoyancy, or the cat’s-eye effect.
A similar effect called asterism is the phenomenon in which a six-sided star appears when a mineral reflects light.
Double Refraction
The property of some minerals, particularly some forms of calcite, to produce a double image of any object viewed through the mineral is called double refraction.

Magnetism
Minerals that are attracted to magnets display the property of magnetism. These minerals may be magnetic themselves.
In general, nonsilicate minerals that contain iron are more likely to be magnetic than silicate minerals are.
Radioactivity
The property known as radioactivity results as unstable nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei by releasing particles and energy.
A Geiger counter is used to detect the released particles and, thus, to identify minerals that are radioactive.

Reading Skills
Read the passage below. Then, answer questions 9–11.
Native American Copper
In North America, copper was mined at least 6,700 years ago by the Native Americans who lived on Michigan’s upper peninsula. Much of this mining took place on the Isle Royale, an island located in the waters of Lake Superior.
These ancient people removed copper from the rock by using stone hammers and wedges. The rock was sometimes heated to make breaking it easier. Copper that was mined was used to make a wide variety of items for the Native Americans, including jewelry, tools, weapons, fish hooks, and other objects. These objects were often marked with intricate designs. The copper mined at the Lake Superior site was traded over long distances along ancient trade routes. Copper objects from the region have been found in Ohio, Florida, the Southwest, and the Northwest.
