At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical.  Currently, there are over 5100 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 silicates are the most abundant and chemically complex group of minerals.  All silicates have silica as the basis for their chemistry.  \"Silica\" refers to SiO2 chemistry.  The fundamental molecular unit of silica is one small silicon atom surrounded by four large oxygen atoms in the shape of a triangular pyramid - this is the silica tetrahedron - SiO4.  Each oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms, so only half of the four oxygens \"belong\" to each silicon.  The resulting formula for silica is thus SiO2, not SiO4.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The simplest & most abundant silicate mineral in the Earth's crust is quartz (SiO2).  All other silicates have silica + impurities.  Many silicates have a significant percentage of aluminum (the aluminosilicates).\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quartz (silicon dioxide\u002Fsilica - SiO2) is the most common mineral in the Earth's crust.  It is composed of the two most abundant elements in the crust - oxygen and silicon.  It has a glassy, nonmetallic luster, is commonly clearish to whitish to grayish in color, has a white streak, is quite hard (H≡7), forms hexagonal crystals, has no cleavage, and has conchoidal fracture.  Quartz can be any color: clear, white, gray, black, brown, pink, red, purple, blue, green, orange, etc.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cp>From exhibit info.:\nAn included crystal occurs when a growing crystal completely engulfs an earlier-formed mineral.  The crystals trapped within the later crystal are then called inclusions within that crystal.  This quartz crystal has inclusions of blue papagoite.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cp>Papagoite is a bluish-colored calcium copper hydroxy-aluminosilicate mineral, CaCuAlSi2O6(OH)3.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Locality: unrecorded\u002Fundisclosed site in Transvaal, South Africa\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cp>Photo gallery of quartz:\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n<a href=\"\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external free\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.mindat.org\u002Fgallery.php?min=3337\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.mindat.org\u002Fgallery.php?min=3337\u003C\u002Fa>\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.mindat.org\u002Fgallery.php?min=3337<\u002Fa>","James St. John",894,1233,[295],{"id":296,"url":297,"label":298,"formula":299,"spacegroup":300,"year":124},10361,"\u002Fcif\u002F10361.cif","Groat 1987","Ca Cu Al Si2 O9","C 1 2\u002Fm 1",[],[303,307,311,315,319,323,327,330,334,338,341,345,348,352,356,359,362],{"lang":304,"names":305},"ca",[306],"papagoïta",{"lang":308,"names":309},"de",[310],"Papagoit",{"lang":312,"names":313},"es",[314],"Papagoíta",{"lang":316,"names":317},"eu",[318],"Papagoita",{"lang":320,"names":321},"fa",[322],"پاپاگوئیت",{"lang":324,"names":325},"fr",[326],"Papagoïte",{"lang":328,"names":329},"it",[7],{"lang":331,"names":332},"ja",[333],"パパゴ石",{"lang":335,"names":336},"nl",[337],"Papagoiet",{"lang":339,"names":340},"pl",[310],{"lang":342,"names":343},"sr",[344],"папагоит",{"lang":346,"names":347},"sr-ec",[344],{"lang":349,"names":350},"uk",[351],"Папагоїт",{"lang":353,"names":354},"zh",[355],"硅铝铜钙石",{"lang":357,"names":358},"zh-cn",[355],{"lang":360,"names":361},"zh-hans",[355],{"lang":363,"names":364},"zh-hant",[365,366],"矽鋁銅鈣石","矽铝铜钙石","Q420775",{"history":11,"applications":11}]
