Mineralogy
Mineralogy and Petrology
● Properties of minerals
● Identification of minerals based on properties
● Metamorphic petrology
● Sedimentary petrology
● Igneous petrology
Minerals
● Naturally occurring inorganic substance which is crystalline in
structure and having definite chemical composition and atomic
structure.
● Till now more than 2000 minerals have been studied.
● Mineral formation
i. CRYSTALLIZE FROM MAGMA or LAVA: solidification of liquid
magma/lava to solid with a definite internal arrangement of
atoms into a regular repeating pattern
ii. PRECIPITATE FROM SOLUTION: dissolved minerals come out of
solution (water) to form solids
Mineralogy
● Branch of geology which deals
with the Study of Minerals with
respect to their physical and
chemical properties.
● The study has been divided into 3
parts
a. Part 1 - Physical Properties
b. Part 2- Crystallography
c. Part 3 - Mode of formation
How Minerals are formed ?
● Cooling of magma (hot, liquid rock and minerals inside the earth
(from the mantle)
1. Fast Cooling = No Crystals (mineraloids)
2. Medium Cooling = SMALL crystals
3. Slow Cooling = LARGE crystals
● Elements dissolved in liquids (usually water) will reform into
crystals as the water evaporates and the dissolved elements
recrystalize.
Physical properties
i. Color
ii. Streak
iii. Luster
iv. Hardness
v. Cleavage
vi. Fracture
vii. Tenacity
viii. Form
ix. Specific gravity
Cont.., Physical properties
1. Color
● Light dependent property
● Appearance of an object when subjected to light.
● Colour of a mineral is a colour which is not absorbed by it from white light.
● On basis of colour,minerals are classified into 3 types
a. Idiochromatic- Constant colour (Metallic minerals)
b. Allochromatic - variable colour
c. Pseudochromatic - False colour ( Simultaneous reflection and
refraction)
Cont.., Physical properties
2. Streak
● Colour of a mineral which is obtained on rubbing or scratching on a
porcelain plate.
● Porcelain plate is termed as streak plate.
Cont.., Physical properties
3. Lustre
● Intensity of reflection of light from mineral
from surface.
● Factors influencing
○ Refractive index
○ Absorption capacity of minerals
○ Nature of reflecting surface
● It can be explained based on following terms
○ Metallic
○ Adamantine
○ Vitreous
○ Pearly
○ Silky
○ Resinous
○ Dull or earthy
Cont.., Physical properties
4. Hardness
● Resistance offered by the
mineral against external
deformation due to rubbing,
scratching or indentation.
● In the year 1822 F.Mohr given
quantitative measure as scale of
hardness which is called as
Hardness number.
Cont.., Physical properties
5. Cleavage
● It plane is a plane of structural
weakness along which a mineral is
likely to split smoothly. Cleavage thus
refers to the splitting of a crystal
between two parallel atomic planes.
● A mineral may have cleavage in 1, 2 or
3 directions
● In general cubic, rhombohedral,
prismatic, basal and octahedral
cleavage
Cont.., Physical properties
6. Fracture
● Broken surface of mineral
other than that of cleavage.
● Common types of fracture are
a. Even (smooth and flat)
b. Uneven (irregular )
c. Conchoidal (concentric rings)
d. Splintry (Woody fracture)
e. Hackly ( highly irregular with
sharp and fine edges)
f. Earthy ( Smooth, soft and
porous)
Cont.., Physical properties
7. Tenacity
● Behaviour of the mineral towards forces which tend to
break,bend or cut.
a. Sectile - can be cutted with knife
b. Malleable - can be flattened by hammer
c. Brittle
d. Flexible- can be bent
e. Plastic and elastic
Cont.., Physical properties
8. Form (structure )
● Physical shape of the mineral is
expressed in the form of structure.
● Common structural forms are
a. Tabular
b. Elongated
c. Lamellar
d. Foliated
e. Fibrous
f. Radiating
g. Granular
h. Globular
i. Reniform
j. Mammillary
Cont.., Physical properties
9. Specific gravity
● Mass per unit volume of substance.
● In minerology specific gravity is defined as ratio of density of
mineral to that of water at 4 °C.
● Minerals is primarily based on
1. Composition
2. Atomic constitution
Cont.., Physical properties
Miscellaneous properties
1. Magnetism (Ex: Magnetite )
2. Electricity (Ex : Quartz )
3. Fluorescence (Ex : Fluorite )
4. Fusibility
Minerals are classified in 2 groups
1. Silicates
a. Silica group
b. Mica group
c. Feldspar group
d. Amphibole group
e. Pyroxene group
2. Non silicates

Minerology

  • 2. Mineralogy and Petrology ● Properties of minerals ● Identification of minerals based on properties ● Metamorphic petrology ● Sedimentary petrology ● Igneous petrology
  • 3. Minerals ● Naturally occurring inorganic substance which is crystalline in structure and having definite chemical composition and atomic structure. ● Till now more than 2000 minerals have been studied. ● Mineral formation i. CRYSTALLIZE FROM MAGMA or LAVA: solidification of liquid magma/lava to solid with a definite internal arrangement of atoms into a regular repeating pattern ii. PRECIPITATE FROM SOLUTION: dissolved minerals come out of solution (water) to form solids
  • 4. Mineralogy ● Branch of geology which deals with the Study of Minerals with respect to their physical and chemical properties. ● The study has been divided into 3 parts a. Part 1 - Physical Properties b. Part 2- Crystallography c. Part 3 - Mode of formation
  • 5. How Minerals are formed ? ● Cooling of magma (hot, liquid rock and minerals inside the earth (from the mantle) 1. Fast Cooling = No Crystals (mineraloids) 2. Medium Cooling = SMALL crystals 3. Slow Cooling = LARGE crystals ● Elements dissolved in liquids (usually water) will reform into crystals as the water evaporates and the dissolved elements recrystalize.
  • 6. Physical properties i. Color ii. Streak iii. Luster iv. Hardness v. Cleavage vi. Fracture vii. Tenacity viii. Form ix. Specific gravity
  • 7. Cont.., Physical properties 1. Color ● Light dependent property ● Appearance of an object when subjected to light. ● Colour of a mineral is a colour which is not absorbed by it from white light. ● On basis of colour,minerals are classified into 3 types a. Idiochromatic- Constant colour (Metallic minerals) b. Allochromatic - variable colour c. Pseudochromatic - False colour ( Simultaneous reflection and refraction)
  • 8. Cont.., Physical properties 2. Streak ● Colour of a mineral which is obtained on rubbing or scratching on a porcelain plate. ● Porcelain plate is termed as streak plate.
  • 9. Cont.., Physical properties 3. Lustre ● Intensity of reflection of light from mineral from surface. ● Factors influencing ○ Refractive index ○ Absorption capacity of minerals ○ Nature of reflecting surface ● It can be explained based on following terms ○ Metallic ○ Adamantine ○ Vitreous ○ Pearly ○ Silky ○ Resinous ○ Dull or earthy
  • 10. Cont.., Physical properties 4. Hardness ● Resistance offered by the mineral against external deformation due to rubbing, scratching or indentation. ● In the year 1822 F.Mohr given quantitative measure as scale of hardness which is called as Hardness number.
  • 11. Cont.., Physical properties 5. Cleavage ● It plane is a plane of structural weakness along which a mineral is likely to split smoothly. Cleavage thus refers to the splitting of a crystal between two parallel atomic planes. ● A mineral may have cleavage in 1, 2 or 3 directions ● In general cubic, rhombohedral, prismatic, basal and octahedral cleavage
  • 12. Cont.., Physical properties 6. Fracture ● Broken surface of mineral other than that of cleavage. ● Common types of fracture are a. Even (smooth and flat) b. Uneven (irregular ) c. Conchoidal (concentric rings) d. Splintry (Woody fracture) e. Hackly ( highly irregular with sharp and fine edges) f. Earthy ( Smooth, soft and porous)
  • 13. Cont.., Physical properties 7. Tenacity ● Behaviour of the mineral towards forces which tend to break,bend or cut. a. Sectile - can be cutted with knife b. Malleable - can be flattened by hammer c. Brittle d. Flexible- can be bent e. Plastic and elastic
  • 14. Cont.., Physical properties 8. Form (structure ) ● Physical shape of the mineral is expressed in the form of structure. ● Common structural forms are a. Tabular b. Elongated c. Lamellar d. Foliated e. Fibrous f. Radiating g. Granular h. Globular i. Reniform j. Mammillary
  • 15. Cont.., Physical properties 9. Specific gravity ● Mass per unit volume of substance. ● In minerology specific gravity is defined as ratio of density of mineral to that of water at 4 °C. ● Minerals is primarily based on 1. Composition 2. Atomic constitution
  • 16. Cont.., Physical properties Miscellaneous properties 1. Magnetism (Ex: Magnetite ) 2. Electricity (Ex : Quartz ) 3. Fluorescence (Ex : Fluorite ) 4. Fusibility
  • 17. Minerals are classified in 2 groups 1. Silicates a. Silica group b. Mica group c. Feldspar group d. Amphibole group e. Pyroxene group 2. Non silicates
