Yes, the crystal system a mineral belongs to is a property of a mineral.
Yes. Having a crystal structure is part of the definition of a mineral.
Rocks are for the most part composed of one or more minerals. Obsidian is an exception because the mineral solution (lava) did not have time to form mineral crystals because of very rapid cooling. However, most obsidian will still contain some mineral crystals or crystal inclusions.
Magnetite is a mineral that is part of the spinel group. It is considered the most magnetic mineral that naturally occurs on Earth. It is black or brownish black in color and can often be found with small pieces of iron attached to it.
Yes, a geologist would study the composition of a mineral as part of their analysis of rocks and minerals in the Earth's crust. Understanding the chemical and physical properties of minerals helps geologists identify different rock types and formations, as well as the processes that formed them.
It is a mineral or a number of minerals which are part of the composition of rock.
It is part of the sulphide mineral group.
Minerals are basically chemicals in a solid form.A2. Part of the definition of a mineral is that it has a known chemical composition. If its composition were variable, it would not qualify under the definition.
Water that is an integral part of the crystal structure is referred to as water of crystallization. This water is bound within the crystal lattice and is essential for maintaining the crystal structure.
Tremolite is a member of the amphibole mineral group.
Mineral fragments in soil come from the weathering and breakdown of parent rock material over time. Physical, chemical, and biological processes break down larger rock particles into smaller mineral fragments, which become part of the soil composition. These mineral fragments provide essential nutrients for plants and help determine soil properties.
