What else can I help you with?
Could you accurately identify a yellow vitreous mineral sample with a hexagonal shape?
Yes, a yellow vitreous mineral sample with a hexagonal shape could likely be identified as a form of quartz, specifically citrine, or potentially as yellow beryl. To confirm the identification, one would examine its hardness, specific gravity, and other physical properties, as well as conduct tests for cleavage and streak color. Additionally, checking for any inclusions or conducting a broader chemical analysis could help in accurately identifying the mineral.
How might you identify whether a mineral sample might be lodestone?
One way to identify if a mineral sample might be lodestone is through its magnetic properties. Lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet, so it will attract materials like iron. You can test this by seeing if the sample is attracted to a magnet. Additionally, lodestone is typically a form of magnetite, so if the sample looks similar to magnetite in appearance, it could be lodestone.
Why did geologists come up with so many ways to identify mineral?
Being able to identify minerals is like being able to identify diamonds from quartz--The person that makes the right choice is rewarded financially. Correct information is the kingpin of mining.
Color is not very helpful in mineral identification because?
color can vary within a mineral species and different impurities can cause variations in color. It is more reliable to use other properties such as hardness, luster, cleavage, and streak to accurately identify minerals.
Is there a mineral where Aluminum could be extracted from?
An Ore.
What are the resources of a mineral?
The resources refers to the source of supply for the mineral. Mineral resources could be the ore, or even a material which could be recycled to retrieve the mineral's desired properties.
How could a country develop its economy without a large supply of mineral resources?
A country can develop its economy without a large number of mineral resources by, Exporting Manufactured goods to other countrys.
What is one advantage of using color to identify a mineral?
I know that an advantage of using color to identify a mineral is that it narrows down the number of minerals that it could be to a smaller amount. SORRY if it does not make since im only 13
How could a country develop economy without a large supply of mineral resources?
They could be successful in manufacturing, industry, and tourism.
What is this a picture of structure?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see images. If you could describe the structure to me, I can help you identify or analyze it!

Two minerals have the same color and luster what else could you use to identify the mineral?
Examples of mineral characteristics: - density - hardness - refractive index - chemical composition - magnetic properties - cleavage - crystal system - radioactivity
What could be some phrases to describe the West Siberian Plain?
The worlds largest plain Harsh climate Rich in resources
Could the Sahel countries prosper from their mineral resources if those countries had better transportation systems?
It is a necessary but insufficient condition, i.e. better transportation would help Sahel countries proper from the mineral resources as long as other elements are in play, such as stable governments, good diplomacy, better telecommunications, etc.
Could quartz be considered a mineral?
Quartz is a mineral.
Could a mineral be liquid?
No. By definition a mineral is a crystalline solid.
What is a river crystal?
There isn't. If you could describe what you call a "river crystal" in sufficient detail, and it is something definite, someone may be able to identify and name it correctly.
