Though minerals vary in shape color luster the way a mineral reflects light and hardness all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state it is not currently a mineral. For example ice is a mineral but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale rates a minerals hardness from one to 10 10 being the

How are minerals categoried Michael T. Murray ND. Naturopathic Medicine. Minerals are classified into two categories major and minor. This classification is determined by the amount of the mineral needed by the body not by how essential it is for good health. If a mineral is required at a level greater than 100 mg per day it is considered

1999216 Silicate minerals are classified on the basis of the degree of polymeriation of the SiO 44 tetrahedra. The main types of silicates are grouped in the following table based on the number of bridging oxygens BO per SiO 44 tetrahedron. BO Formal Name Informal Name SiO Group Examples Sample Formula 0 nesosilicates island silicates

2011313Mineralogists group minerals into families based on their chemical composition. There are different grouping systems in use but the Dana system is the most commonly used. This system was devised by Professor James Dana of Yale University way back in 1848. The Dana system divides minerals into eight basic classes. The classes are 1. Native

Minerals are classified as micronutrients because you dont need too much of them but that doesnt negate their importance. Like vitamins minerals dont contain any calories so they arent a direct source of energy however they work with other nutrients so that your body functions properly 2 3.

After the mineral has been identified and proven to be a mineral it is classified as a silicate or nonsilicate mineral based on its composition. Silicate Minerals The most commonly found group of minerals in the Earths crust is the silicate group. Almost all silicate minerals have silicon and oxygen as their base units.

Exposure to the relatively cool temperature of the atmosphere or water makes the erupted magma solidify very quickly. Rapid cooling means the individual mineral grains have only a short time to grow so their final sie is very tiny or finegrained. Sometimes the magma is quenched so rapidly that individual minerals have no time to grow.
