– The crystal solution was made by mixing 3 tablespoons ammonia, 3 tablespoons of Mrs. Stewart's
laundry bluing (Prussian Blue), and 1 tablespoon of salt. The solution wicks up a cardboard tube that
is cut to form branches (tree), allowing the crystals to grow on the surface. (several days)

• Additional Properties
• Using eye goggles, hit
each mineral with a
hammer and examine
if the mineral exhibits
cleavage.
– Cleavage: Smooth flat
edges when hit.
• Based on all of your observations and data
collection. Use your sheet to determine the
name of the mineral based on these properties.
• You can now complete this question.
• You will find the quiz on the back of your
physical properties of minerals sheet.
• Quiz Wiz 1-10. Name the mineral.
– Use your identification sheet to help you.
