What do chalcopyrite hematite magnetite and pyrite have in common?
They are all minerals which contain iron.
Metallic and non metallic minerals?
Non metallic minerals include quartz, mica, calcite, and feldspar. Metallic minerals include pyrite, hematite, magnetite, galena, chalcopyrite, iron, and copper.
What are 8 examples of minerals?
Diamond, graphite, quartz, topaz, calcite, fluorite, dolomite, magnetite, hematite, pyrite...
What physical differences between pyrite and chalcopyrite?
Pyrite is harder, heavier, and exhibits a conchoidal fracture as opposed to chalcopyrite's brittle fracture. Chalcopyrite also contains copper whereas pyrite does not.
What are two examples of minerals that break unevenly?
When a rock with a portruding edge that is less than ninety degrees in angle is struck on that edge and produces a conical shaped chip or "flake", leaving behind a concave flake scar where the material was removed from the rock, that is a conchoidal mineral.

What are the metallic resources?
There are a wide variety of metallic resources. These include chalcopyrite, gold, hematite, molybdenite, native copper, as well as pyrite.

What minerals are in hematite iron ore?
The primary mineral would be... hematite. Many other minerals could be present, to one degree or another, including magnetite, pyrite, quartz, etc.

What mineral was so valuable to miners?
They are extracted from the earth as ores. Some commercially valuable ore minerals are magnetite and hematite for iron production, Sphalerite for zinc production, and chalcopyrite (not to be confused with pyrite, it's pretty much useless) for copper. There are many other ore minerals out there, I've only listed a few.
How can you tell the difference between hematite and pyrite?
The difference between the iron in magnetite and hematite is the charge. Hematite has all 3+ iron ( the iron when make the mineral loses 3 electrons) and magnetite has some 2+ iron (it only loses 2 electrons).
Is iron ore a silicate mineral?
The term "iron ore" is quite general, and can be applied to a number of different minerals, like hematite, magnetite, goethite, or pyrite.
In what does galena pyrite and hematite tend to distinct in?
galena, pyrite, and hematite all happen to be distinct in their metallic luster.
What can amethyst scratch?
An alexandrite can scratch tin. talc, Asbestos, Biotite, Galena/Lead, Graphite, Gypsum, Halite/Salt, Lepidolite, Muscovite, Sulfur, Zinc, Calcite, Chalcopyrite, Copper, Gold, Silver, Nickel, Platinum, Sphalerite, Titanium, Turquoise , Hematite, Magnetite, Opal, Pyrite, Uraninite, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Garnet, Olivine/Peridot, and Quartz.X- Aim D.
