Crystals have regular, flat faces that form at very specific angles to each other and reflect their atomic structure. To identify what type of mineral you have, consult mindat.org, or a library, or a university earth science department, a local museum with mineral exhibits, or a local mineral collecting club.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use crystals you identify minerals?
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
How many sides do crystals of each of the six major crystal systems have?
Cubic: crystals have 6 sides. Tetragonal: crystals have 4 sides. Orthorhombic: crystals have 3 unequal sides. Hexagonal: crystals have 6 sides. Monoclinic: crystals have 4 sides. Triclinic: crystals have no set number of sides.
Why covalent crystals r opaque?
Covalent crystals are not necessarily opaque. Think of diamond, pure quartz crystals, pure aluminium oxide crystals these all are colorless and transparent.
Which type of rock is shown in this photo.?
I'm sorry, but I can't see images or photos. If you describe the characteristics of the rock, such as its color, texture, and any visible layers or crystals, I can help you identify the type of rock it might be!
What is the difference between borax crystals and other natural crystals?
Borax crystals are specifically composed of the mineral borax, while other natural crystals can be formed from a wide variety of minerals such as quartz, calcite, or fluorite. Borax crystals have distinct properties and chemical composition that distinguish them from other natural crystals.
How can you identify the shape of the crystals on well polished minirals?
do you???
Can you use crystals you identify minerals?
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
What is the significance of pyramidal crystals in the field of mineralogy and geology?
Pyramidal crystals are important in mineralogy and geology because they can provide valuable information about the formation and composition of minerals. The shape and structure of pyramidal crystals can help scientists identify different minerals and understand the conditions under which they were formed. Studying pyramidal crystals can also provide insights into the geological processes that have shaped the Earth's crust over time.
How do you identify salt in a rock?
- after taste - by chemical analysys - by microscopic examination of the crystals - measuring some physical parameters as refractive index, lattice parameter etc.
Would you use salt and sugar crystals to identify different colours in a paint?
No, salt and sugar crystals are not commonly used to identify colors in paint. They are more commonly used in chemical experiments or culinary applications. Color can usually be identified in paint through visual observation or by using color matching tools.
What are Ghost crystals?
Ghost Crystals are crystals of crosslinked polyacrylamide.
Are crystals living or nonliving?
NO CRYSTALS are not living!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you identify an igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rock is composed of visible mineral crystals, possessing what is referred to as a phaneritic texture. This is evidence that slow cooling of magma occurred deep underground.
What is an igneous rock with crystals?
Granite with larger crystals, basalt with smaller crystals.
What do you do on a science fair about crystals?
you should talk about how crystals are formed and what type of crystals there are
Can salts form crystals?
Yes. Salts can form crystals (salt crystals).
