Lindane lotion should be used with caution for infants, children, the elderly, and individuals with other skin conditions (e.g, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis) and in those who weigh < 110 lbs (50 kg) as they may be at risk of serious neurotoxicity.
Although other metallic minerals may mimic magnetiteâs color, luster, hardness and specific gravity, magnetite is the only common mineral that is magnetic. So a magnet is usually all that is needed to identify its presence. Magnetite crystals usually only occur when magma cools slowly enough for crystals to form and settle out of the magma.
A mineral is a naturally occurring substance, representable by a chemical formula, that is usually solid and inorganic, and has a crystal structure.It is different from a rock, which can be an aggregate of minerals or non-minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition. mineral's hardness is not necessarily constant for all sides, which is a function of its structure; crystallographic weakness renders some directions softer than others. An example of this property exists in kyanite, which has a Mohs hardness of 5Â½ parallel to [001] but 7 parallel to [100].
