What is pyrite?
== == Pyrite is iron sulfide, a mineral composed of sulfur and iron. It's also known as "Fools'Gold" because of its shiny yellowish metallic luster. Pyrite can be found in sedimentary, magmatic, and metamorphic rock deposits, and also in hydrothermal vents, wherever there is sulfur and iron.Pyrite is sometimes an ore of gold and copper. It is also an ore of sulfur, which is used in the production of tires, explosives, disinfectants, medicines, ink, wood preservatives, dyes, matches, and sulfuric acid. Some collector specimens can be quite valuable as well. The streak of pyrite is greenish-black. Pyrite is in the cubic/isometric crystal system where three axes running through the center of the crystal are of equal length and form an angle of 90 degrees at intersection.
7 properties of a mineral?
color, hardness, chemical composition, system of crystallization, refractive index, luster, magnetic properties, radioactivity, fracture characteristics, etc.
Does fluorite look like a rock?
fluorite (fluorspar) Mineral, calcium fluoride (CaF2). It has cubic system crystals with granular and fibrous masses. Brittle and glassy, it can be yellow, purple or green. It is used as a flux in steel production and in ceramics and chemical industries. Hardness 4; r.d. 3.1.And it is a meteorite
How are minerals organized?
Minerals are typically organized by their chemistry, into groups like the carbonates, silicates, sulfides, etc. They can also be organized by various other properties, like hardness, density, crystal system, etc.
Name a mineral in the triclinic crystal system?
feldspar
How many crystal axes does a triclinic crystal system have?
Three axes.
What mineral has an isometric crystal shape?
Diamond is one mineral in the isometric crystal system.
Is crystal systems a part of the 7 properties of a mineral?
Yes, the crystal system a mineral belongs to is a property of a mineral.
Are minerals that have particles arranged in a diamond or crystal pattern?
Atoms within a mineral are arranged into an orderly geometric spatial arrangement known as crystal structure. There are 14 basic crystal lattices (refered to as the Bravais lattices) which fit into one of 7 crystal system (triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, hexagonal and cubic) and all observed minerals fit into one crystal lattice and one crystal system. Diamond on the other hand is an allotrope of carbon arranged into an isometric hexoctahedral (Cubic-type) crystal system.
What is the crystal system?
It is a system of classification of crystals into 7 crystal systems(Cubic,Tetragonal,Othorgonal,Hexagonal,Trigonal.Monoclinic and Triclinic) on the basis of their Geometrical properties and symmetry (Diads,Triads,Tetrads,Planes of symmetry,Centre of symmetry)
What The crystal system a mineral belongs to relates most to the mineral's?
its defitantley not mass
What is a crystal system why is it useful to classify mineral crystals this way?
Knowing a mineral's crystal system helps researchers understand its atomic structure and physical qualities.
What is a mineral with the same crystal system as salt?
Fluorite belongs to the same crystal system as salt - the cubic (also known as the isometric) crystal system.
What is crystal systems?

What is the crystal structure for Peridot?
Peridot (gem quality olivine (the mineral)) is in the orthorhombic crystal system.
What is an example of a monoclinic crystal?
Gypsum and orthoclase feldspar are in the monoclinic crystal system.
