(i) – Minerals are made up of regularly arranged atoms – Minerals grow as distinct objects called crystals Agate (a form of the mineral quartz) ©McGill University 2010 What is the difference between Crystals minerals, crystals, and rocks? (ii) – Crystals are made up of only one type of mineral – A crystal’s atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in an orderly, repeating pattern – Crystals can have different shapes, depending on how the groups of atoms are arranged Quartz crystal and penny ©McGill University 2010 What is the difference between Crystals minerals, crystals, and rocks? (iii) – A rock is a mass of many crystals from one or several minerals – Granite is a rock made of main minerals: • Feldspar • Quartz • Mica ©McGill University 2010 How are crystals formed? • Most come from a liquid evaporating (e.g., salt) or magma cooling • Minerals in the liquid precipitate out as the liquid evaporates As more minerals precipitate out, the crystal grows in size • Crystals can grow forever, as long as they have the chemical elements and the environmental conditions necessary ©McGill University 2010 Mineral Identification (i) • The two most important properties that scientists use to identify minerals are: – chemical composition (e.g., via microprobe analysis) – crystal structure (e.g., via X-ray diffraction analysis), which is reflected in the mineral's crystal symmetry and shape ©McGill University 2010 Mineral Identification (ii) • Other properties that scientists use to help identify minerals include: – Colour – Luster (how the surface reflects light) – Streak (the mark it leaves on a ceramic plate) – Hardness – Magnetism – Crystal system (crystal shape and the way in which the crystals are arranged) ©McGill University 2010 Acknowledgments • Scientific consultation – Dr Jeanne Paquette (Earth and Planetary Sciences) – Dr Peter Tarassoff (Redpath Museum) • Concept, design, and production: – Jacky Farrell – Elizabeth Miazgy – This presentation was made possible with funding from the PromoScience programme of NSERC ©McGill University 2010 [...]... by geological processes – They can’t be man-made so steel is not a mineral www.wikipedia.org Public domain ©McGill University 2010 Minerals are inorganic – Not living and not made by living things – Shells are not a type of mineral but they they are made of solid materials (biominerals) similar to some inorganic minerals Redpath Museum ©McGill University 2010 A mineral is solid – Minerals may be dissolved...What is a mineral? • A mineral must have… – A crystalline structure – A definite chemical composition • A mineral must be… – Formed by geological processes – Inorganic – Solid ©McGill University 2010 What does this mean? • A mineral must have… – A crystalline structure • Minerals are made of molecules, and a crystalline structure is a repeated pattern of those molecules ©McGill University 2010 Crystalline... form a continental collision Some mountains (e.g., the Himalayas) form this way Wikipedia.org, USGS: public domain ©McGill University 2010 Rocks www.wikipedia.org Public domain ©McGill University 2010 Rocks • Rocks are made of minerals • Granite is a rock made up of three main minerals: – Feldspar – Quartz – Mica ©McGill University 2010 A world of rocks • There are 3 main types of rocks: – Igneous rocks...
