At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical.  Currently, there are over 4900 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common.  Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry.  Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The sulfide minerals contain one or more sulfide anions (S-2).  The sulfides are usually considered together with the arsenide minerals, the sulfarsenide minerals, and the telluride minerals.  Many sulfides are economically significant, as they occur commonly in ores.  The metals that combine with S-2 are mainly Fe, Cu, Ni, Ag, etc.  Most sulfides have a metallic luster, are moderately soft, and are noticeably heavy for their size.  These minerals will not form in the presence of free oxygen.  Under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, sulfide minerals tend to chemically weather to various oxide and hydroxide minerals.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cobaltite is an important cobalt ore mineral having the formula (Co,Fe)AsS - cobalt iron arsenic sulfide.  It's essentially arsenopyrite with cobalt.  Cobaltite has a metallic luster, a bright silvery color, a dark gray streak, and is moderately hard (H = 5.5).  It can form cubic and pyritohedral crystals (the same crystal forms as pyrite), but cobaltite has cleavage, unlike pyrite.  It frequently occurs as finely granular masses mixed with other minerals (see below).  Cobaltite occurs in some hydrothermal veins, and in some contact metamorphic rocks.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Locality: Skutterud Mines, Modum, southeastern Buskerud County, southern Norway\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cp>Photo gallery of cobaltite:\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.mindat.org\u002Fgallery.php?min=1093\">www.mindat.org\u002Fgallery.php?min=1093\u003C\u002Fa>","James St. John",1323,1791,{"id":464,"source_url":465,"license_code":350,"credit_html":466,"title":467,"description":468,"author":469,"original_width":470,"original_height":471},5997,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=51414941","GeologMax, via \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=51414941\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikimedia Commons\u003C\u002Fa>","Cobaltite crytal.jpg","3mm large cubic crystal of cobaltite from locality Varuträsk in Sweden... historical find from 1988","GeologMax",2159,2168,{"id":473,"source_url":474,"license_code":340,"credit_html":475,"title":476,"description":383,"author":360,"original_width":444,"original_height":477},49954,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10441751","Robert M.
