Why do some minerals cleave only in certain directions? ___________________ ______________________________________________________ 9. What pattern of cleavage does mica show? _____________________________ 10. Quartz can grow pretty crystals, but it fractures when it breaks. What does that mean? __________________________________________________________________ Use p. 106-107 to answer the following: 11. The hardness of a mineral is its _____________________________________________ 12. The softest minerals on Mohs scale is _______________ with a hardness of _______ 13. The hardness of a fingernail (without tough nail polish ) is ____________, meaning you can scratch ________________ and __________________ with your fingernail. 14. If you can’t scratch something with your fingernail, you should use a ________________. Calcite cannot be scratched by your finger, but it can be by a penny. 15. Name 2 minerals that can scratch quartz: ___________________________________ 16. Why is glass brittle, and yet hard? ___________________________________________ 17. Specific gravity compares the density of a mineral to the density of __________________ 18. If a mineral has a high specific gravity, it will feel heavy or light?(circle one) and is probably a nonmetallic or metallic mineral? 19.

After the lab 1.Having completed the identification procedure, please indicate which of the tests seemed to help you identify the minerals the best: (circle) Streak specific gravity hardness luster color other test 2. Some of the minerals are metallic and some are nonmetallic. On the venn diagram indicate the characteristics they seemed to share and those they did not. Include the types of atoms in their chemical compounds as part of this. metallic nonmetallic
