Identify three minerals that are normally found with quartz in samples of andesite rock?
quartz garnet olivine
Compare and contrast granite and diorite?
Contrast: Granite consists mainly of quartz, feldspar, and ferromagnesian ("dark") minerals Diorite may be incorrectly called "granite". Diorite contains virtually no quartz, no muscovite, and no K-feldspar. It also contains a higher percentage of dark silicate minerals. Diorite has a salt and pepper appearance. Compare: Both granite and diorite are phaneritic (course-grained) rocks. Diorite is primarily sodium- rich plagioclase feldspar and amphibole, with lesser amounts of biotite. On other minor constituents of granite include muscovite and some dark silicates, particularly biotite and amphibole.
What is an economically useful mineral?
Halite, copper, diamond, calcite, talc, sphalerite, and quartz are but a few very important and economically important minerals.
Does a quartz crystal have more or fewer faces than a halite crystal?
Quartz is silicon dioxide, SiO2. It forms a hexagonal prism as an ideal crystal. Impurities in the quartz can give it pretty colours eg rose quartz.Halite is sodium chloride, common table salt, NaCl. It forms cubic crystals. These can be seen with a magnifying glass when looking at table salt.Perfect crystals are formed by careful evaporation of solutions.
What are the names of all the minerals in the world?
It's not really possible to answer that, as there are so many. It is also dependent on your definition of mineral. Some are quartz, feldspar, and horneblende.
Which has a weaker chemical bond halite or quartz?
halite. quartz has a stronger bond making it harder to pull the atoms apart
Which a halite crystal differs from a quartz crystal?
1) The covalent bonds in quartz are much stronger than the ionic bonds in halite. 2) The stronger bonds of quartz make it harder than halite. 3) You can easily scratch halite with a steel knife ,while you cannot scratch quartz.
What mineral does gypsum and halite form?
I think quartz
Does a quartz crystal have more or fewer faces then a halite crystal?
mm
What are the uses of Flurite Halite Graphite Calcite and Quartz?
used in tanning
Identify three minerals that are normally found with quartz in samples of andesite rock?
quartz garnet olivine
What are Quartz talc halite magnetite feldspar mica?
Quartx is and example of a mineral that is a chemical compound it is made of the silicon and oxygen
If a mineral has the same mass as quartz but has a greater volume how will density compare to the quartz?
The density will be lower.
What rock is also a mineral?
Rock salt and rock gypsum are predominately the minerals halite and gypsum respectively. Quartzite is also predominately the mineral quartz.
What stone is a golden brown quartz?
a golden brown quartz you describe can be citrine, smoky,or honey quartz,look them up on any search engine,and hit the images button to compare.
How could you tell the difference in density between the same size samples of quartz and galena?
By deviding the mass by its volume.
