We will describe the six systems here. http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/ohc/nature/geology/minerals/pccryssystem.shtml

- Browse By : - LETTER TOPIC BY KEYWORD: Crystallization System Mineralogists group minerals together into six "systems." These systems are based on the form of individual crystals. We will describe the six systems here. We will characterize each system by describing both its faces and its crystallographic axes. An axis is an imaginary straight line that runs through the center of a crystal. Each axis runs from the center of one crystal face to the opposite face. Since crystals are three-dimensional objects, each crystal must have at least three axes. Isometric (Cubic) System with six square faces. All three of the crystallographic axes are of the same length, and they are arranged at right angles to each other. Galena crystals and halite crystals are examples of this system. Tetragonal System with two square faces and four lengthened rectangular faces. This is similar to the cubic system except that only two of the axes are of the same length. The third axis is either shorter or longer than the other two. Chalcopyrite crystals are an example of this system.

- Browse By : - LETTER TOPIC BY KEYWORD: Crystal Habit In many cases the crystals of a particular mineral grow together in a group rather than as separate, individual crystals. These groups are called mineral aggregates. Sometimes the units in an aggregate are imperfectly formed and distinct crystal faces are absent. When this happens we call the individual parts "grains" rather than crystals. The words "crystalline" and "granular" are used to describe whether the units are well-developed crystals or grains. Units well-developed as crystals. See barite Units without distinct crystal faces. They are about equal in length, breadth and height, like grains of salt or sand. See sulfur In order to describe crystal habit accurately mineralogists have developed some standard terms. The following descriptive terms are based on the shape of individual mineral units: Units long, needlelike, and thicker than a fiber or hair. See

" A ND THEY RAN up hill and down dale, knapping the chunky stones to pieces with hammers, like so many road makers gone daft." "They say it is to see how the world was made." Sir Walter Scott Index to Quartz Digging Cleaning Worth ... Photos from readers Chapter 1 Page 9 General Geology M OST OF THE QUARTZ veins are restricted to a belt about 30 to 40 miles wide that extends a distance of about 170 miles west southwest from Little Rock, Arkansas, to eastern Oklahoma. This area corresponds to the core region of the Ouachita Mountains. Productive Veins The most productive quartz veins are present in both Paleozoic sandstones and shales, but those having shale as the host rock typically are massive milky vein deposits with a smaller proportion of clear, well-developed crystals. Deposits in sandstone units may be in the form of veins, sheeted zones, and stock works. Sandstone-hosted deposits usually contain less quartz volumetrically than shale-hosted deposits, but often yield a higher percentage of clear crystals in cavities or pockets. Many crystal-bearing pockets were distorted or crushed by structural adjustments during the Ouachita orogeny (mountain-building episode) after initial quartz deposition. The deformation commonly causes the veins to show complex fabrics. Quartz formed in the cracks The quartz veins were formed by the filling of open fissures and display little evidence of significant replacement of wall rock. Milky quartz crystals and associated vein minerals of the Ouachita Mountains were deposited from hot waters during the closing stages of mountain building, ranging from the Late Pennsylvanian (300-286 million years ago into the Permian (286-245 million years ago). The veins attain a maximum width of 60 feet in Arkansas and nearly 100 feet in Oklahoma. They are most numerous along the central core of the Ouachita Mountain region, where they are present in shale, slate, sandstone, and other rock types. Along and near the borders of this region, the veins are usually confined to sandstone beds encased within thick shale units.

"A coherent, naturally occurring solid, consisting of an aggregate of minerals or a mass of glass" Coherent : loose sediment is not a rock Naturally occurring : concrete and brick are not rocks Aggregate : rocks may consist of many crystals of the same mineral, or many different minerals, or a combination of minerals and glass (either shards or a homogeneous mass) Key features of rocks Grain size Composition : proportions of different minerals defines the bulk rock chemical composition Texture : arrangement of grains; how they connect to each other Layering : can be compositional layering (e.g. light/dark minerals), or alignment of inequant grains so they are all parallel Three major rock types Igneous rocks: form by the solidification of molten rock Sedimentary rocks: form either by cementing together of fragments broken off pre-existing rocks (grains), or by precipitation of crystals from an aqueous solution Metamorphic rocks: form when pre-existing rocks change into new rocks in response to increasing pressure (P) and temperature (T) The rock cycle The rock cycle is a mass transfer cycle Conversion of one rock type to another by several possible pathways Key processes include melting (to produce igneous rocks), erosion, deposition and lithification (to produce sedimentary rocks), metamorphism (to produce metamorphic rocks)
