thickness, state of matter). minerals are anhydrite, celestine,
barite, and gypsum. This class may
also include chromate, molybdate,
selenite, sulphite, tellurate and
tungstate minerals.

4. HALIDE CLASS contains natural

salts and includes fluorite, halite,
sylvite, and sal ammoniac
components. These minerals usually
form in lakes, ponds and other
landlocked seas such as the Dead
Sea and the Great Salt Lake.
Minerals in this class have a
relatively low hardness, may be
transparent, have good cleavage,
have low specific gravities and poor
conductors of heat and electricity.

5. OXIDE CLASS is a diverse class.

Metallic minerals such as hematite
and gemstones such as chrysoberyl
and spinel belong to this class. In
science, these minerals are
important as they carry histories of
changes in Earth’s magnetic field.
They are formed as precipitates
close to Earth’s surface or as
oxidation products of minerals
during the process of weathering.

6. SULPHIDE CLASS has important

metals such as copper, lead, and
silver, which are considered
economically significant. These
metals are found in electrical wires,
industrial materials, and other
things that are needed in
construction.

7. PHOSPHATE CLASS contains

minerals with phosphorus. The
phosphate class is considered an
important biological mineral found
in the teeth and bones of many
animals.

8. NATIVE ELEMENT CLASS contains

metals and intermetallic elements
(e.g., gold, silver, copper),
semimetals, nonmetals (e.g.,
antimony, bismuth, graphite,
sulphur) or natural alloys, and
constituents of a few rare
meteorites.

of minerals?
3. How will you identify if a certain
object is considered as minerals or
not?

1. List five minerals and their
common uses. Identify the specific
property/properties that makes the
mineral suitable for those uses. For
example, graphite, having a black
