Question

3. Match the appropriate mineral from the list below: (2 pl caci) A (for quartz); B (for calcite); C (for kaolinite); D (for chlorite); E (for biotite); F (for muscovite); G (for talc), H (for Kspar); I (for amphibole); J (for serpentine); K (for garnet); L (for staurolite); M (for andalusite); N (for kyanite); and O (for sillimanite ...to the following mineral characteristics and descriptive phrases. a. Green sheet-silicate mineral b. white sheet-silicate mineral c. black sheet-silicate mineral d. highest grade meta index mineral e. diamond cross section elongate porphyroblast f. rounded facetted porphyroblast g. mineral reacts to HCL acid h. mineral with hardness Hl

Explanation / Answer

a.Green sheet silicate mineral - J (Serpentine)

b. White sheet silicate mineral - F (Muscovite) (White coloured/ colourless)

c.black sheet silicate mineral : E (Biotite) (black coloured mica)

d. highest grade meta index mineral : O (sillimanite) (Forms at the highest temp and pressure zone in barrovian zone)

e. diamond cross section elongate porphyrblast : M (andalusite)

f. rounded facetted porphyroblast: K (garnet)(Rhombdodecahedron perfect crystal)

g. mineral reacts to Hcl acid- B Calcite (the reaction of calcite with hcl is as follows CaC03+2HCl=CaCl2+H20+C02

h. mineral with hardness H1 : G Talc ( hardness of 1 in Mohs' scale of hardness)

IF YOU FOUND THE ANSWER HELPFUL, A THUMBS UP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED!!! THANKS!!!!
