Mineral: Naturally occurring Gypsum Solid Definable chemical composition Orderly arrangement of atoms (in crystal lattice) Crystal: a single solid continuous crystalline solid bounded by flat crystal faces 1 diamond A polymorph - two different minerals of identical composition (here graphite) 2 Shares two oxygen Shares two-three oxygen SiO44Independent (Olivine) Shares three oxygen Chain Double chain Framework Sheet 3 Rock Groups Rock - coherent, naturally occurring aggregate of minerals (and/or glass) Bedrock (attached to crust) Outcrop (exposed) 4 Formed from freezing of molten rock (magma): Igneous Rock 5 Formed from cementing of fragments or precipitation out of water: Sedimentary Formed by subjecting other rocks to high pressures and temperatures (in solid state - no melting allowed!): metamorphic 6
