Found your videos while studying for my Mineralogy lab final. Had videos playing in the background...lol This was a wonderful quick test for me! Thanks!
Rocks are the main thing thats different from all four items you mentioned. Rocks are a combination of minerals formed into a solid, with three types being Igneous (from lava/magma), Sedimentary (from compacted or eroded sediments) and Metamorphic (from pressurized molten rock deep in the earth's crust). Crystals and Minerals can be very similar, but their definitions are different. A Mineral is any naturally occurring solid substance *without* repeating atomic structure. Amber, which is solidified tree sap, is a mineral. A Crystal however, is a inorganic naturally occurring substance *with* repeating atomic structure. Quartz is an example of a crystal because of its defined atomic structure of Silicon and Oxygen. Gems are simply either a Mineral or Crystal that is deemed precious or semi-precious. A general rule of thumb is if its used in jewelry, it could be classified as a gem. Ruby, Diamond and Emerald are all precious gems. Jade, certain types of Amber, and Garnet are all semi-precious gems. Hope this helps :)
@@liamgrant858 Thanks so much. It's good to hear a straight answer from someone who knows how to explain things clearly and simply and intelligently. I thought my question would stay up on RUclips for years before getting an answer. Its obvious that you're college educated or least self-educated.
Grateful for these videos, hoping they help in an earth science mid term where we get no notes or charts and have to just remember all of the properties of the minerals 😂
Mike - I discovered your videos today, and they are wonderful. My question is where can I find the worksheets and answer keys that you mentioned above? I can only find the reference tables on your website. Thanks!

What are basic, simpleified differences between crystals, rocks, minerals and gems?

@@knoxvillehermitfreemoviesm3625 Thanks bud, I'm just starting my last semester of high school and plan to get my degree in geology :)
@@liamgrant858 Wow - I am 51. I though you were a professor who was my age. I got a degree in English literature.
@@knoxvillehermitfreemoviesm3625 That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words, my mom appreciates it too XD
Hey MIke...I'm having a hard time finding the student sheet for this...any suggestions? And thanks for all you do...it is much appreciated!

I’m getting a 404 message on your website when clicking on the the “properties of common minerals” link.

Tom Servo thanks bro
@@tomservo8065 thanks 😊
@@davidfromhouston7889 were the answers right
Module No.2 Earth Science ninyo ni noh?
Oo HAHAHAHHA pahinge answer
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA OO BAY
Hi, Fluorite contains calcium and fluorine, but it doesn't contain carbon...
Thank you, that was helpful. I'm surprised he hasn't corrected it.
okay good, I thought I was going crazy while I tried to find a mineral containing carbon and fluorine
My students noticed an error with Sample #14, fluorite. It should read "Contains Calcium and Fluorine". Thanks!

Check back tomorrow, still getting things posted!
They're up now!
My teacher had the same problem and can’t find the answer key
great teacher
i love minerals but we are doing this in class and they give us like 0 time
This is not fun for me
