Definition of a Mineral! • Naturally occurring • Homogeneous (single phase) • Crystalline – Ordered, repeated arrangement of atoms/ions • Definite (but generally not fixed) chemical composition, – fixed stochiometry – Neutral Charge Earth Materials ESS 212 Instructor: Michael Brown <brown@ess.washington.edu> ! ! Classifications of Mineral! • By Composition (Chemistry) • By Structure (atomic arrangement) • By (identifying) “Physical Properties” • *[inorganic] – This property is often included in the definition but many organisms secrete minerals such as calcite and aragonite into their tests and shells, forming minerals no different from their inorganic equivalents. 2 11/29/13 Earth Materials ESS 212 Instructor: Michael Brown <brown@ess.washington.edu> ! !
