1) Many people are sadly ignorant of science, devoid of reasoning powers, and more than willing to believe anything that anybody tells them.
2) Many people are immoral enough to happily prey upon the sick, the foolish, and the desperate to make a quick buck.
Combine 1 and 2, with the fact that so many people out there are looking for meaning in their lives, and you have a big mess of nuttiness.
Common sense tells us that crystal healing is nonsense, and this can be proven by the very simplest of tests, akin to those that debunk psychics, mediums, faith healers, and their ilk.
No. It can vary from the visible color of the mineral and, since visible color of them ineral is not a reliable indicator of type, it is important to learn to use streak, (along with other factors), to correctly identify a mineral.
Cobalt is a mineral, not a rock.
Rocks may be made of one type of mineral or a combination of several.
From their ore's, ie from their individual mineral bearing rocks.
Sodium chloride is not a rock: in the nature NaCl exist as the mineral halite.
the abiotic factors in the rocky mountains are water, rocks, snow, dirt, mud, mountains , mineral deposits, and ice

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
Must be some kind of mineral deficiency.
No, to make a rock a mineral does not have to be in it.
SURTSEY ROCKS AND MINERALSIgneous Rocks and Sedimentary RocksCalcite mineral and Halite Mineral
No. But rocks are composed of minerals.
Quartz is the mineral that is the basic building block in many rocks.
sandstone and healing rocks that they brought from Africa
Cracks and mineral composition of rocks affet the rate weathering. Smaller rocks with more available surface area weather more rapidly. Rocks with calcium carbonates weather more rapidly than rocks made of granite......:-)
Rocks can contain almost any of the over 4,000 valid mineral species. Silicate minerals are contained in a large percentage of crustal rocks.
Because metamorphic rocks do not exist in the conditions needed to preserve fossils. Fossils need specific conditions to remove decaying factors and preserve the mineral part of the fossile.
