Best Answer

A crystalline structure which consists of variously orientated crystal planes and grain lines and boundaries. A crystalline structure which which has crystals of varying size and randomly organised owing to the growth and production conditions. i.e. heat and time for crystals to develop and form an organised crystalline structure with well organised grain boundaries.

Is volcanic glass a mineral group?

No. By definition, a mineral must have a crystalline structure. Glass does not have a crystalline structure.


Is volcanic glass a mineral?

Volcanic glass is not a mineral. It's composition is complex, and their is no crystalline structure.


Why is glass marble not considered a mineral?

In order to be a mineral, substances need to have fixed internal crystalline structure. Natural glass does not.


Is glass a subset of quartz?

Glass is not a subset of quartz because glass does not fit the definition of a mineral in that it has no crystalline structure.


What minerals make up volcanic glass?

No minerals make up true volcanic glass, as the crystalline structure of minerals did not have time to form before the lava hardened. A mineral must have a crystalline structure.


Why glass is not crystalline?

glass does not have a crystalline structure but it is still a solid. There are a few solids that don't have crystalline structure such as coal, a block of wood and a brick. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are known as amorphous solids.


Is calcite a mineral and why?

By definition, a mineral must have a definite crystalline structure. Calcite has this. Glass is amorphous, meaning it does not have such a structure.


Which of the following is the most likely to have a crystalline structure wood or glass or rubber or quartz?

quartz


Are there igneous rocks that lack a crystal structure?

Obsidian, actually a volcanic glass, has no crystalline structure due to its quick solidification.


Why does liquid heat faster when microwaved in a glass cup instead of a ceramic mug?

Perhaps because the glass is in amorphous structure and ceramic is in crystalline structure. Glass is a better conductor of heat than ceramic is.


What is volcanic glass?

Volcanic glass is material produced by a volcano that lacks any sort of crystalline structure. While most rocks contain crystals in some form of another, glass does not. Volcanic glass usually forms when molten rock cools too quickly to form a crystalline structure. Examples of volcanic glass include obsidian, ash, pumice, and scoria.


Is glass a soild?

Glass is an amorphous solid meaning it lacks a cohesive crystalline structure but still has organization of molecules where silica binds to oxygen.
