A very common mineral in the continental crust made of pure silica. It is essential in granites, sandstones, and quartzites and is known for its high hardness and glassy shine. It is highly resistant to weathering and forms beach sand. It comes in many colorful varieties, like amethyst, and is important for making glass and watches.
Biotite – rich in iron, magnesium, and potassium. It is commonly found in igneous rocks like granites and in metamorphic rocks like gneisses. Its perfect cleavage allows the mineral to peel into thin, flexible, and elastic sheets. Its dark color and glassy shine are very typical visual traits in rocks from the Earth’s crust.
Minerals that do not let light pass through, even in very thin slices. Unlike silicates, they look black under a regular microscope. They include native metals, oxides, and sulfides like gold, pyrite, and magnetite. They have a strong metallic shine and are the economic base of metal mining around the world.
