Is a mineral an ore or a gem if it contains something useful and can be sold for a profit?
Actually, a mineral is an ore if it contains another mineral. It can also be sold for a profit, once the USEFUL mineral is either melted out, or drilled out. Then the left over of the ore is useless, but the mineral itself can be sold for profit purposes.
What is a useful mineral?
Mineral extraction sites adjacent to the railroad line.
Why is hardness a valuable property of some minerals?
Hardness is valuable because it helps in mineral identification by determining resistance to scratching. Minerals with higher hardness values can scratch minerals with lower hardness values, aiding in their classification. Hardness also indicates the strength and durability of a mineral, making it useful for industrial and practical applications.
When is the term ore used with reference to mineral?
The term "ore" is used to refer to a mineral or rock from which a valuable or useful substance, typically metal, can be extracted profitably. Ores are important sources of metals and serve as the primary sources for many industrial processes.
Why do the mining industry find paleontology useful?
The mining industry finds paleontology useful because studying fossils can help identify potential mineral deposits. Fossils can indicate the presence of certain minerals or the geological conditions that may harbor valuable resources. This information can aid in making informed decisions about where to explore and extract minerals.
What do you call the mineral in what a useful or valuable metal can be extracted metal can be extrated?
The penguins ate your mom
What are facts about fool's gold?

A mineral is classified as an ore as long as?
It is considered an ore as long as the locallized concentration of the mineral exceeds its crustal abondance.
A rock that contains a metal or economically useful mineral is called a?
This is a raw material (feedstock).
What is a mineral that contain enough of a useful substance that it can be mined at a profit?
An example of such a mineral is bauxite, which is a source of aluminum. Bauxite is mined at a profit because the aluminum extracted from it is highly valuable in industries such as aerospace, construction, and transportation. This makes bauxite a commercially viable mineral to mine.
Which mineral tests are the most helpful?
Some of the most helpful mineral tests include X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, and mineral-specific chemical tests. These tests can provide valuable information on the mineral composition, crystal structure, and elemental composition of a specimen.
