Is azurite valuable?
The mineral azurite is of limited economic importance, but it is an important surface indicator of underlying copper ore deposits, which could be of significant economic importance.

How do limestone deposits provide evidence of how plate motions have changed earths surface?
yo but holeLimestone deposits that began as coral reefs provide evidence of how plate motions have changed Earth's surface. These deposits also provide evidence of past environments.

Why is A Diamond not an ore?
Your question can be answered by defining the terms. Ore is a solid material from which a metal or mineral can be extracted, while diamond is classified as a mineral formed in rocks. No process except cutting away excess diamond can change a mined diamond, in this case into a gemstone. Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface from deep within its mantle where they are formed. Ore exists in veins, more or less, laid there by the process of eons' worth of deposits on the earth's surface.

How do you clean tiles?
There are chemicals available in pool stores to help remove film or light mineral deposits. Once mineral deposits become thick you can use pumice. If that doesn't work or is too difficult you may need a professional. There are several methods they use. The oldest is probably mechanical devices like wire wheels or grinders. They can scratch the surface. Then there are glass bead blasters that use air pressure to blast the deposits off. Beads may cause pitting and dulling of the surface. The latest method (about 5 yrs old) is water pressure used to propel mineral salts at the surface. Since the salts are softer than the tile they never cause damage.
