Minerals, fundamental to the study of geology, are naturally occurring, inorganic substances characterized by a specific crystalline structure, with atoms arranged in an orderly pattern. Their unique chemical composition, determined by the types and ratios of elements present, influences distinct properties such as color, luster, and transparency. Geologists employ various physical tests to identify and classify minerals based on hardness, streak, cleavage, and other characteristics. Minerals form through geological processes, including crystallization from magma, precipitation from solutions, and metamorphism. Understanding these concepts is crucial for geologists engaged in mineral exploration, resource assessment, and deciphering Earth's geological history, contributing to a broader understanding of geological formations and Earth processes.
