What is the heaviness of a mineral called?
The heaviness of a mineral is called its density. Light minerals have a specific gravity that is lighter than heavier ones.
What are all the characteristics of all minerals?
The charactristics of a mineral is, streak, luster, density, hardness, crystal system, cleavage and fracture, and special properties.
Describe how to find the hardness of unknown mineral?
Minerals are tested for hardness by performing a scratch test. The unknown mineral is scratched with another object that the hardness is known. For example, a unknown mineral may be scratched with a piece of metal to compare the resistance.
How can density help identify a mineral?
Each mineral has a characteristic density (or range of densities), so if the measured density is a close match to a mineral you know, it MAY be that mineral; if it doesn't match, it is something different.
What is the system used to compare the hardness of a mineral?
Minerals are compared in their ability to scratch the freshly cleaved surface of each other. Their ability to scratch other minerals has become one criterion used in the mineral's identification, as each mineral possesses a number assigned to its ability, as appears on the Mohs hardness scale, an enlightenment provided by the scientist Friedrich Mohs.See related question below.
When does a mineral have density?
There is a large number of minerals and different minerals have different density.
What is a mineral's density?
The density of minerals is a measure of weight vs volume of the mineral. See related links for more details.
What is the the density of a mineral?
Density is defined as mass per unit volume: This is the density of any material, including minerals. There a a great many minerals each with a different density.
Does each mineral have a charectoristic density?
Yes, all minerals have density. It is a main charectoristic.
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.
How do you think the hardness and density of a mineral that formed through metamorphism would compare to a mineral that formed evaporation?

What is the heaviness of a mineral called?

Where can I find more information on bone mineral density?
Bone Mineral Density tests measure the density of minerals in your bones to determine bone strength. This could often be found to be beneficial. However more information can be found at http://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/bone-mineral-density-test
