Copper is an orange-red colored metal with a soft texture. Feldspar-Found primarily in granite, feldspar is the most abundant mineral on the planet; it is commonly used in building materials. Fluorite-Also called fluorspar, fluorite is used in fluorescent pigment. This gem is very beautiful and is mined worldwide.
As we discussed in a previous lecture, the relative abundance of elements in the Earth's crust determines what minerals will form and what minerals will be common. Because Oxygen and Silicon are the most abundant elements, the silicate minerals are the most common. Why are the silicate minerals the most common minerals in the earth's crust? 2  Give an alternative name for each of the following groups of silicates (a) nesosilicates, (b) double island silicates, (c) cyclo-silicates, (d) inosilicates, (e) sheet silicates.
