What do you call a mineral without crystals?
most minerals have a distinctive crystal arrangement. those minerals that do not have their atoms arranged in crystals are called amorphous minerals.
Contrast the formation of minerals from magma and their formations from solution?
The formation of minerals from magma depends on how quickly the magma cools- if it cools slowly the crystals are bigger, slower= smaller crystals. The formation of minerals from solution depends on wether the solution becomes overfilled with a dissolved substance and gets supersaturated, then the individual atoms bond together and mineral crystal is formed from the solution.
What is the most common form of minerals?
Minerals form into crystals or clusters of crystals. In the crust, the most common individual mineral is quartz, and the most common class of minerals are the silicate minerals.
The texture of an igneous rock depends on the size and shape of its?
The texture depends on the size and shape of the crystals you see in it. The larger the crystals, the slower the rate of cooling. This suggests that it is an intrusive rock. Smaller crystals suggest more rapid cooling indicating that it is an extrusive rock. INTRUSIVE- cooled inside the earth and had more time to create crystals EXTRUSIVE- cooled on the surface of the earth and created small crystals
A metamorphic rock will have certain minerals and what?
crystals
Is a factor that affects the size of minerals crystals formed in magma?
evaporation
How much are purple crystals worth?
Depends on the particular purplish crystal. Amethyst is not too expensive but other purplish crystals expensive. So it depends.
What determines the size of a minerals crystals?
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
What minerals are in crystals?
Most minerals form crystals.
What are minerals crystals?
Most minerals form crystals.
What factor affects the size of the crystals in minerals that form from magma or lava?
If the lava cools quickly the crystals will be smaller than if it cooled slowly.
The size of a mineral's crystals depends on which of the following?
everything
How much money do Crystals cost per pound?
It depends on the size of the crystals and the material in which the crystals. Diamonds are carbon crystals that are obviously expensive when they are large.
The texture of a rock depends on the size of its crystals?
correct! :D
How much mony would you get for crystals and minerals found in rocks?
The monetary value of crystals and minerals found in rocks depends on their appearance and rarity to collectors, and on their economic significance to the general market for a particular type of mineral.
Are crystals stones?
No, but stones and crystals are both minerals.
The texture of an igneous rock depends on the size and the shape of its what?
mineral crystals
