What mineral has crystals that are shaped like a rhombus?
The mineral that commonly forms crystals shaped like a rhombus is calcite. Calcite crystals can exhibit a range of forms, but their rhombohedral cleavage is a distinctive characteristic. This means that when calcite breaks, it tends to create rhombus-shaped fragments. The unique crystal structure and cleavage make calcite an important mineral in geology and various industrial applications.
What is the light refraction for calcite?
Calcite is birefractive which means that its refractive index depends on the polarisation and direction of propagation of the light that reaches it. For more introductory information please see the wikipedia article about this substance.
Is gypsum easier to scratch than calcite?
yes its softer
What minerals would scratch fluorite - talc quartz or calcite?
Fluorite with a Mohs hardness of 4 would be scratched by quartz (with a hardness of 7). Both calcite (Mohs hardness 3) and talc (Mohs hardness 1) are softer than fluorite.
