You think probable to talc.
What else can I help you with?
What mineral are that form flat soft flakes?
Talk Graphite
What mineral is soft and metallic?
The mineral that is soft and metallic is talc. Talc is known for its greasy feel and can be easily scratched with a fingernail, making it one of the softer minerals on the Mohs scale.
What mineral is flat with flaky cleavage?
The mineral that is flat with flaky cleavage is mica. Mica is a group of silicate minerals that can easily be split into thin sheets or flakes. These sheets have excellent cleavage, making them easily separable into thin layers.
What mineral is shiny and soft and separates easily into sheets and contains oxygen and silicon?
Mica
What is the mineral used in pencils?
graphite
Which mineral flakes when peeled?
Calcite
What are the soft silicate flakes found in many rocks?
The soft silicate flakes found in many rocks are likely to be mica minerals, such as muscovite or biotite. These minerals have a layered structure that allows them to break into thin flakes or sheets easily. Mica minerals are common in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
Is calcite a soft mineral?
Calcite is a non silicate mineral because it does not contain silicon.
What is the mineral hardness for wulfenite?
Wulfenite has a mineral hardness of 3-3.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is relatively soft and can be easily scratched by harder materials.
What is the name of a crystalline mineral light in color or translucent and easily cleavable?
The mineral you are referring to is likely gypsum. Gypsum is a soft, colorless to light-colored mineral that can appear translucent and has good cleavage.
How hard is biotite?
it is not hard because you can split the mineral
What is the Flaky dark mineral found in granite?
The flaky dark mineral commonly found in granite is biotite. Biotite is a mica mineral that typically appears as black or dark brown flakes and is characterized by its perfect cleavage, allowing it to be easily split into thin sheets. It contributes to the overall texture and mineral composition of granite, alongside quartz and feldspar.
