Jadeite USD $3 + Million/Carat
Until recent years jadeite has been something of a mystery mineral, but we now know of primary sources in Guatemala as well as several California occurrences of white or grayish jadeite. Boulders in which a few small freestanding crystals have been seen occur in San Benito Co., California, with additional finds in Clear Creek, between New Idria and Hernandez. All Mexican jadeite is in artifacts, from unknown sources. The record price for a single piece of jadeite jewelry was set at the November 1997 Christie's Hong Kong sale: Lot 1843, the "Doubly Fortunate" necklace of 27 approximately .5 mm jadeite beads sold for US$9.3 million
Pyrite, commonly known as "fool's gold," is metallic in appearance but is classified as a non-metallic mineral. It has a metallic luster and a yellow-gold color, which can give it the look of gold. However, its composition is primarily iron sulfide (FeS₂), distinguishing it from true metals. Therefore, while pyrite looks metallic, it is not a metal in terms of its chemical properties and classification.
Native metals are minerals. The only metals that commonly occur in native form are copper, silver, gold, and platinum.
Titanium is a metallic element.
Silica is a non-metallic mineral. It is an oxide of silicon. Silica is most commonly found in nature as sand or quartz.
It is none of these. It is a metallic elemental mineral.
Chalcopyrite is a metallic mineral that has a brass-yellow color and a metallic luster. It is a primary copper ore mineral and is commonly found in hydrothermal veins and sedimentary rock deposits.
Pyrite is a mineral known for its metallic luster, appearing shiny and reflecting light. It is commonly referred to as "fool's gold" due to its bright yellow color and metallic appearance.
Tin is a metallic mineral.
Pyrite is a mineral that starts with the letter "P." It is a common mineral known for its metallic luster and brassy yellow color.

Galena is metallic.
Tin is a metallic mineral.
Galena is the metallic mineral ore of lead.
Gold is classified as a metallic mineral resource, not a non-metallic one. It is a valuable metal that is highly prized for its use in jewelry, electronics, and other applications due to its malleability, conductivity, and resistance to corrosion.
Limonite is not a metallic mineral. It is actually an iron ore which often has a yellow-brown color due to the presence of hydrated iron oxide minerals. Minerals like pyrite and chalcopyrite are examples of metallic minerals.
Sulfur and gold are both yellow minerals. Topaz is a yellow gemstone, which I believe would also be considered a mineral. Pyrite, more commonly known as "fools' gold" is also yellow, and is technically an iron sulfide. Yup! SULFUR!
