Geologists identify minerals by their physical properties In the field, where geologists may have limited access to advanced technology and powerful machines, they can still identify minerals by testing several physical properties: luster and color, streak, hardness, crystal habit, cleavage and fracture, and some special propertiesMost optical mineralogy today involves specially prepared thin sections (003mmthick specimens of minerals or rocks mounted on glass slides)Video 1 (linked in Box 52) explains how we make thin sections, and Figure 51, the opening figure in this chapter, shows an example Figure 54 above shows a microscope view of a thin section that contains several minerals (biotite, 5 Optical Mineralogy – MineralogyChemical or Biochemical – A sedimentary rock formed from the solidification of microscopic silica particles; Very Finegrained – Individual grains are too small to see, even with a hand lens; Very Hard – Cannot be scratched by steel (7 on Chert: Identification, Pictures Info for RockhoundsGeologists have documented more than 5,000 different species of minerals!
