The mineral cooled rapidly on earth's surface
All rock does not contain mineral crystals. Obsidian, or volcanic glass, in particular is a rock that has cooled so quickly from lava that mineral crystals were not able to form.
of crystals.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
The presence of hot fluids causes the mineral crystals to become extremely large.
Zoisite is a mineral with orthorhombic crystals, chemical formula Ca2Al3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH).
It is likely that the mineral formed from molten lava on the Earth's surface. This is because it would have cooled very rapidly, so forming the small crystals.
the mineral cooled very slowly underground
IDK so can u tell ,me
Under ground took a lone time to cool all I can tell you
Dresserite is a micro-mineral that does not contain any particularly valuable element. It is used only as a mineral specimen for hobbyists. It is not colorful; neither are the crystals large. Many mineral collectors would not give it a second (or even a first) glance. Micromounters (who view small pieces through microscopes) are among the very few who appreciate these tiny crystals.
Mineral grains are crystals or pieces of crystals that vary widely in chemicalcomposition
Yes mineral crystals are made of ion's
What mineral that appears in transparent hexagonal crystals
Mineral is formed by crystals and is inorganic
No. By definition, a mineral must be a solid and have crystals
Correct, a 5 hardness can scratch a 5 and below.
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
