Development of Artificial Minerals From the start of civilization, man has demonstrated intriguing interest in natural crystals including gems (Kesler & Simon, 2015). Later, man used natural minerals such as mica, diamond, corundum, and quartz for different applications including cutting abrasion, and electrical appliances among others (Kogel, 2006). During the Second World War, the demand for natural minerals in technical applications increased significantly and endangered the supply. However, this

Peters Mineral/Rock Lab Report Introduction: In lab number 3, we learned how to identify some of the more common and important minerals. Using these identification methods helps us understand the environmental chemistry of an area to help us know what minerals are present in the soils, sediments and the rocks of an area, and how those are minerals are organized in the rock. In lab number 5, we looked at mineral interaction with water and acid. In this lab we were given 4 known minerals and one

1. What is a mineral, as geologists understand the term? How is this definition different from the everyday usage of the word? • To a geologist, a mineral is naturally occurring solid, formed by geologic processes that have a crystalline structure and a definable chemical composition. Its internal structure characterized by an orderly arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline lattice. Almost all minerals are inorganic, for instance, sugar is an organic chemical in which is made by

Geoscientists try to understand the earth's crust using geophysical methods such as gravity and magnetic surveys. Mining geologists also use geophysics to search new mineral deposits. In areas such as the Nevada Great Basin, geoscientists rely more on geophysical images than on geologic maps. The Great Basin area holds one of the biggest mineral concentrations in the world. Economically, gold is the most prominent commodity. The most important gold deposits are hosted by carbonate rocks, called the
