T he links below in Table take you to descriptions of about 180 individual mineral species You can also use the navigation menu on the right side of this web page to find different minerals The mineral descriptions in this chapter are arranged in order based on the classification scheme presented in Chapter 1; Table below

— Plutonic rocks are igneous rocks that solidified from a melt at great depth Magma rises bringing minerals and precious metals such as gold silver molybdenum and lead with it forcing its way into older cools slowly tens of thousands of years or longer underneath Earth s crust which allows the individual crystals to grow large by
WhatsApp
— Scoria is a type of volcanic rock that forms from the solidification of molten lava It is commonly found around and on the surface of active and dormant has distinctive characteristics that make it unique and recognizable among other types of volcanic Definition Scoria is an extrusive igneous rock meaning it

Tholeiitic basalt is relatively poor in silica and poor in in this category are most basalts of the ocean floor most large oceanic islands and continental flood basalts such as the Columbia River MORB Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt is characteristically low in incompatible elements MORB is commonly erupted only at ocean ridges
WhatsApp
Porphyritic is used as an adjective to modify the name of any fine grained igneous rock that has less than 50% phenocrysts in it Example Porphyritic basalt porphyritic andesite Porphyry is used as a noun after the rock name if more than 50% of the rock is made of phenocrysts Example Basalt porphyry

— I believe that mineral names which end in "ite" refer to species with a unique chemical composition that is there is no variation in the chemical composition of different samples of say haematite or chalcopyrite Those minerals with names ending in "ine" or "ene" I think have more variation in terms of the chemical composition
WhatsApp
Basalt A basalt is a fine grained basic igneous rock containing essential calcic plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene usually Augite with or without olivine These minerals are in the 4 component normative system Ol Ne Cpx Qtz Yoder & Tilley tetrahedron In the tetrahedron plagioclase plots between Ne and Qtz and Opx plots between Ol
Formation of Minerals Minerals form when atoms bond together in a crystalline arrangement Three main ways this occurs in nature are 1 precipitation directly from an aqueous water solution with a temperature change 2 crystallization from a magma with a temperature change and 3 biological precipitation by the action of organisms

Mineral Name Mineral Hardness Mineral Color Mineral Luster Mineral Streak Cleavage or Fracture Other Properties; Talc 1 White to Gray White Waxy to Pearly White Some examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt andesite obsidian pumice scoria rhyolite and tuff Extrusive igneous rocks are also known as volcanic rocks
WhatsApp
— Granite is important in construction and architectural design for countertops tile monuments and building stones Crushed basalt forms road bases concrete aggregate and railroad ballast Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks form by the accumulation and cementation of mineral or organic particles on the Earth s surface often in water
WhatsApp
Nepheline or leucite may associate or proxy the feldspar giving rise to verities with special names The ferromagnesian minerals are mainly amphibole and rarely biotite glassy groundmass consisting of fine grained quartz and other main constituent minerals Tholeiitic basalt has fine porphyritic texture which is characterized by pyroxene
WhatsApp
— Basalt of mid ocean ridges mid ocean ridge basalts MORB form along divergent plate margins oceanic rifts where the volcanic activity is essentially confined to the innermost valley of the rift system Due to sea floor spreading the newly formed oceanic crust is moved aside from the growing rift system Consequently MORB constitutes
Its chief minerals are feldspar pyroxene olivine and iron oxides Although nearly all basaltic rock is crystalline in some cases where the lava has cooled rapidly it has a glassy appearance Because of its density and toughness basalt is often used for making roads and in the construction of buildings Basalt is found throughout the world

Therefore information on cleavage in some minerals is more difficult to evaluate than other properties such as hardness streak reaction to acid and magnetism Bottom Line When well developed cleavage is an important property that may help you to identify a mineral by name especially in combination with other properties In finely

What is Plagioclase Plagioclase is the name of a group of feldspar minerals that form a solid solution series ranging from pure albite Na AlSi 3 O 8 to pure anorthite Ca Al 2 Si 2 O 8 Minerals in this series are a homogenous mixture of albite and anorthite The names of the minerals in the series are arbitrarily given based upon their relative abundance of

Most Common Minerals Rock Name; felsic glass may contain a few minerals typical of felsic rocks pumice mafic glass may contain a few mineral typical of mafic rocks scoria Note Basalt with fewer holes known as vesicles is called vesicular basalt Scoria has more holes and may be black or red in color Glassy Texture
WhatsApp
The important mineral constituents of a rock are those one by which a special name is assigned to the rock The presence of olivine in gabbro and nepheline in syenite denotes some special significance for the rock The gabbro usually contains plagioclase and pyroxene and with or without the mineral olivine

Note how the mineral accommodates the substitution of Ca and Na Minerals in this solid solution series have different mineral names Figure PageIndex{16} Crystal structure of feldspar Note that aluminum which has a similar ionic size to silicon can substitute for silicon inside the tetrahedra see figure
