### substance | mineral | ore:

Sulfide ore
* are more important commercially.
* is crushed and the sulfides are separated by flotation.

Uranium ore
* is extracted by drilling and blasting the rock face
  - fortunately a limited resource and it belongs in the ground
* occurs in narrow high grade veins which are concentrated in discrete zones.

Organic mineral
* are a source of potassium.
* regulate the elimination and blood-building functions of the body.

Orpiment
* is derived from the latin auripigmentum , or golden pigment.
* yellow mineral occurring in conjunction with an ore of arsenic.

Other mineral
* dissolve in water.
* have physical properties
* improve quality.
* include zinc.

Phlogopite
* are micas
  - minerals
* is iron poor and biotite is iron rich.
* occurs only in one equigranular lherzolite and in a second composite xenolith.

Principal mineral
* are hard coal and brown coal
  - petroleum, natural gas, coal, iodine, helium, gypsum, clay, sand and gravel
* produced in order of value are coal, crushed stone, natural gas, and petroleum.

Pure mineral
* Many pure minerals are colorless.
* are rare - most rocks are a combination of many minerals.

### substance | mineral:

Pyrite
* Most pyrites contain irons.
* Some pyrite contains small amounts of gold and is mined for that reason
  - pyrites contain siderites
* are minerals
  - sulfides
* comes in many different shapes, from sun discs to cubes.
* enhances the protective and assertive male energies in both men and women.
* gives a greenish or brownish-black streak
  - pale brassy color with a metallic luster
* helps with digestion and helps to promote creativity and an open mind.
* increases oxygen supply to the blood and strengthens the respiratory and circulatory systems.
* is by far the most common sulphide mineral.
* is harder, less dense, and more brittle than gold
* occurs in three distinct styles
  - mostly in hydrothermal veins

Radioactive mineral
* Some radioactive minerals show no fluorescence.
* exist in all areas of New Hampshire.

Red clay
* are typical of warm and usually tropical climates.
* is clay
  - composed of crushed brick that is spread on top of a natural base
  - used by private and public agencies as a road base

Rhodonite
* is for projecting elegance.
* karma stone that can help bring balance and strength into our lives.
* very calming stone, and helps to promote balance.

Rock salt
* forces the ice surrounding the can of ice cream mix to melt.
* is common salt
  - inedible and primarily used to make ice cream
  - located in stores
  - mainly sodium chloride
* is mined from natural deposits of salt
  - underground deposits by drilling and blasting
* transmits radiant heat from both cool and very hot bodies.

Secondary mineral
* Some secondary minerals consist of ore.
* form roughly concentric zones around pyrite-rich areas at the surface.
* serve as the basic building blocks of the small particles with the soil.

Several mineral
* lose their original color when exposed to light for extended periods.
* react when placed within a magnetic field.
* share the same cell for absorption.

Silicate mineral
* All silicate minerals have the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron as their fundamental building block.
* Many silicate minerals are of economic importance.
* Most silicate minerals contain a large number of silicate anions.
* are the most abundant mineral group in the Earth's crust
  - common family of minerals on earth
* weather in the same sequence as they crystallize.
