It is transparent and translucent. It is brittle and glassy and the streak for olivine would be white. It is an igneous rock of the oceanic crust. Its color is most of the time olive green. Olivine is also vitreous and known to have no cleavage. Some transparent olivine are used as a gemstone.

2) Biotite is part of the mica group. Biotite is found in igneous metaphoric rocks. It is known to occur in lava. Biotite is dark brown or black and is brittle. It is vitreous to pearly. It has a streak white and is transparent and translucent. It has cleavage. Biotite also has some radioactive elements in it that allows it to figure out how old the minerals are.

3) Muscovite is a mineral found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Muscovite is one of the most common micas and is found in granite, pegmatite, gneisses, and schist’s.

2. Pyrite - The most common and widespread sulfide mineral.

3. Sulfur - an important nonmetallic resource. || * Nonsilicates make up only 8 percent of Earth's crust. || 1. sapphire 2.hematite 3. magnetite || Basic structure and bonding is similar in each mineral class. Nonsilicates make up only about 8 percent or earth’s crust. Some of the most common nonsilicates are carbonates, sulfates, and halides. Magnesium and calcium carbonate are both physically and chemically similar. Both are hard to tell apart because both have luster, and a hardness between 3 and 4, and an almost perfect rhombic cleavage. They can be distinguished by using diluted hydrochloric acid. Calcite reacts with the HCL acid. Lime stone could be used in cement or with building stone and it is metallic. Hematite and magnetite are important ores of iron. Native elements could include: gold, silver, carbon(diamonds), and nonsilicate minerals. Corundum, and uraninite are important economically. A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid that possesses an orderly crystalline structure and a well-defined chemical composition. Corundum is considered a ruby if it has a red tint color to it, or else it’s a sapphire if it’s any other color. Most gemstones are dull and would look like any other rock….it has to be cut and polished before it would look like an actual gem stone. Gemstones could be considered precious, or semi-precious. Flashes of color is known as brilliance. Gems should be as hard, or harder than quartz (5—6). || || This is a picture of a sapphire, which is widely regerded as a precious gemstone.
 * Some of the most common nonsilicate minerals belong to one of three classes of minerals--the carbonates, the sulfates, and the halides.
 * Two other nonsilicate minerals frequently found in sedimentary rocks are halite and gypsum.
 * Secondary enrichment is the process where weathering creates ore deposits by concentrating minor amounts of metals into economically valuable deposits.
 * Bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum, is one important example of an ore created as a result of enrichment by weathering processes.
 * Pyrite is important because when it chemically weathers, sulfuric acid forms, which enables percolating waters to dissolve the ore metals.
 * Placers are deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents.
 * Nonmetallic mineral resources are Earth materials that are not used as fuels of processed for the metas they contain. ||

That is why minerals in each group have similar physical properties that are used to I.D. them. The mineral classes are: Carbonates, Halides, Oxides, Sulfides, Sulfates, and Single Elements. Most non- silicate minerals are prized for their economic value. Secondary enrichment- chemical weathering removes unwanted materials from decomposing rock, just leaving the wanted element in the upper zones of the soil. Placers- Deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents.Nonmetallic Mineral resources- Materials that are not used in fuels or processed for metals. Many non metallic resources are classified as industrial minerals usually important for manufacturing of chemicals and production of fertilizers. ||||  ||||   ||||   ||||   ||
 * Within each mineral class, the basic structure and type of bonding is similar.
 * Some of the most common nonsilicate minerals belong to one of the three classes of minerals: the carbonates the sulfates and the halides.
 * Limestone has many uses, including road aggregate and building stone.
 * The durability of a gem depends on its hardness
 * Most nonsilicate mineral classes contain members that are pirzed for thieer economic value.
 * Weathering creates many important mineral deposits by concentrating minor amounts of metals that are scattered through unweathered rock into economically valuable concentrations.
 * The enrichment process is responsible for the economic success of many copper deposits
 * Placers- deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents.
 * Nonmetallic mineral resources-A mineral resource that is not a fuel or processed for the metals it contains.
 * Industrial minerals can be important because they are sources of specific chemical elements or compounds. ||

|| Sapphires have been mined commercially in Australia since the late 19th century. Australia is a major producer of gem-quality sapphires and supplies a wide range of qualities and sizes of stone to world markets.

Olivine is one of the most common minerals on Earth,

Opal is a mineraloid gel which is deposited at a relatively low temperature || Pgs 95-97 Nonsilicate minerals are typacally subdivided into classes, based on the anion or complex anion that the members have in common. Although the nonsilicates make up only about 8 percent of Earth's crust, some minerals, such as gypsum, calcite, and halite, occur as constituents in sedimentary rocks in significant amounts. Two nonsilicate minerals frequently found in sedimentary rocks are halite and gypsum.

Pg 647-650 Weathering creates many important minerals deposits by concentrating minor amounts of metal that are scattered through unweathered rock into economically valuable concentrations. the information of bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum, is one important example of an ore created as a result of enrichment by weathering processes. Bauxite forms in rainy tropical climates in association with laterites. Many copper and silver deposits result when weathering processes concentrate metals that are deposited through a low-grade primary ore. Sorting typically result in like-sized grains being deposited together. However, sorting according to the specific gravity of particles also occurs. Many economically importance placer deposits exist, with accumulations of gold the best known. In addition, other heavy and durable minerals form placers. These include platinim, diamonds, and tin. Earth materials that are not used as fuels or processed for the metal they contain are referred to as nonmetallic mineral resources. People often do not tealize the importance of nonmetallic minerals because they see only the products that resulted from their use and not the minerals themselves. The quantities of nonmetallic minerals used each year are enormous. Natural aggregate consists of crushed stone, sand, and gravel. || 2. 3. || 1. this is a pic of biotite

3) This is an image of sulfur, which is important industrial mineral. || 1) Gemstones are the precious stones with different colors and number of planes (cleavage). They are divided into two categories: 1) Precious gemstone- has beauty, durability, and rarity, & 2) Semiprecious gemstone. Example: Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and some opal. The hardness of these types of gems is 5-6.5. They are brittle, but still expensive.

2) Bauxite is formed by the ore created as a result of enrichment by weathering processes, in rainy tropical climates. Aluminium is insoluble and becomes concentrated in the soil as bauxite. Bauxite is a hydrated aluminium oxide. Important deposits of nickel and cobalt are also found in laterite soils that develop from igneous rocks rich in silicate minerals.

3) Sulfur is one of the most important nonmetallic resource of industrial mineral because it has many uses. It is used to produce sulfuric acid, and used in manufacture of phosphate fertilizer. Sulfur is removed from coal, oil, and natural gas, which makes these fuels less pollute. || 2. 3. || 1. This is a picture of gypsum, made of calcium sulfate with water bound. 2.
