This is an image of fluorite which is known to be the most colorful mineral. Fluorite is found as isometric cubic crystals.

This is an image of Halite and is the form of sodium chloride. This is also known as rock salt. Also Halite forms isometric crystals. || Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the polymorph of calcium carbonate. Calcite can form rocks and part of all three major rock classification types. Calcite is found in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Some rocks are composed of 99% of calcite. There are many different varieties of calcite. Calcite comes from the word calx which also means lime.

Fluorite is a mineral with many different colors and a glassy luster. Some colors that are in fluorite are the colors purple, blue, green, yellow, colorless, brown, pink, black and reddish orange. Fluorite is also florescent. Fluorite is found as a common gangue mineral in hydrothermal veins. It is also found in some greisens, granites and as some marbles and other metamorphic rocks. Fluorite is transparent and dull. The streak is white and hardness is 4 Fluorite is also brittle.

Halite is known as rock salt. Halite is usually colorless or white. It occurs with evaporite deposits. Halite occurs in sedimentary evaporite minerals that come from drying up of enclosed lakes, playas, and seas. The luster is vitreous. The streak of halite is white and it is brittle. It is also translucent and transparent. ||

(notes) Nearly 4000 minerals have been named, and 30 to 50 new ones are identified each year. Some minerals are used extensively in the manufacture of products that drive our modern society and are called economic minerals. Silicates account for more thatn 90 percent of earth's crust. A silicate is any of numerous minerals that have the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron as their basic structure. A Silicon-Oxygen tetrahedron is a structure composed of four oxygen atoms surrounding a silicon atom that constitutes the basic buildin block of silicate minerals. Polymerization is when vast numbers of tetrahedra connect to form single chains, double chains or sheet structures. Feldspar is the most common mineral group, and can form under a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Muscovite is a common member of the mica family. Olivine is a family of high temperature silicate minerals that are black to olive green and have a glassy luster and a conchoidal fracture. Nonsilicate minerals are typically subdivided into classes based on the anion or complex anion that the members have in common. Two nonsilicate minerals frequently found in sedimentary rocks are halite and gypsum. ||  ||   ||

|| The Hornblende is common of many igneous and metamorphic rocks such as a granite.

The Quartz is a six-sided prism terminating with six-sided pyramids at each end.

Olivine is usually named for its typically olive-green color though it may alter to a reddish color from the oxidation of iron || Nearly 4000 minerals have been named, and 30 to 50 new ones are identified each year. Many minerals are used extensively in the manufacture of products that drive our society and are called economic minerals. Mineralogists used the term mineral species for a collection of speciments that exhibit similar internal structures and chemical, compositions. Mineral classes are further divided into groups based on similarities in atomic structures or compositions. The silicates, which account for more than 90 percent of Earth's crust, is the most dominant mineral class. Minerals are grouped together under the heading nonsilicates. Every silicate mineral contains the element oxygen and silicon. Except for quartz, the framework of most other silicate minerals has a net negative charge. Most silicate minerals form when molten rock cools and crystallizes. The light silicates are generally light in color and have a specific gravity of about 2.7, which is considerably less than dark silicates. Feldspar, the most common minerla group, can form under a wide range of temperature and pressure, a fact that partially accounts for its abundance. Muscovite is a common member of the mica family. It is in color and has a pearly luster. Clay is a term used to describe a variety of complex minerals like the micas, have a sheet structure. The dark silicates are those minerals containing ions of iron and/or magnesium in their structures. Olivince is a family of high-temperature silicate minerals that are black to olive green in color and have a glassy luster. The pyroxenes are a group of complex minerals that are important componennts of Earth's mantle. ||
