thank shawn
Biotite mica contains iron and/or magnesium, but muscovite mica does not.
Biotite gneiss could have a number of protoliths (parent rocks), and those protoliths could be igneous or sedimentary; the sedimentary parent rock could be a fine-grained shale, high in biotite composition, or a granitic rock, high in biotite.
biotite is used for building appartments,houses,and hardware types of construction ok you get that.
Biotite is common therefore you may not find it in many collection, but biotite is very useful, Biotite is used extensively as an insulator in many electrical or semiconductors applications.

The main minerals of hartzburgite are olivine and serpentine, clinoamphibole and orthopyroxene and sometimes also biotite. There is no fixed density.
Chemical composition determines density. In this case, I think it's safe to implicate iron content.
biotite has a colorless streak
no,biotite is not attracted to magetic forces (its not attracted to magnet)
Biotite mica has a Mohs hardness of 2.5-3.0.
Biotite is a form of mica, and can be seen without difficulty in the right kind of rocks.
A biotite is a variety of dark brown mica, a mixed aluinosilicate and fluoride of potassium, magnesium and iron.
Biotite mica contains iron and/or magnesium, but muscovite mica does not.
Biotite gneiss could have a number of protoliths (parent rocks), and those protoliths could be igneous or sedimentary; the sedimentary parent rock could be a fine-grained shale, high in biotite composition, or a granitic rock, high in biotite.
i have no idea.bye!
