Crystallography, Mineral Groups and Mineral Properties

Introduces crystallography and crystallographic systems. Summarizes the criteria used to classify minerals (according to the anion or anion group) and provides examples. Describes mineral properties including Mohs hardness scale. Provides examples of why mineral properties such as hardness are largely dependent on each mineral atomic structure and crystallographic arrangement.

This explanation of crystallography really helped me understand the basics of mineral classification.❤❤

[@ScblandBoy]

Crystallography is the study of crystal structures, helping us understand how minerals form their unique shapes.

[@md.neyamot6469]

Great examples of how mineral properties depend on crystallographic arrangements.🎉🎉

[@GeologicalDiary]

Great! It’s so motivating to receive such a great feedback 🎉

I love how quartz is piezoelectric. It can generate electricity under pressure.😊⚡

[@GeologicalDiary]

Yeah! Quartz show that property and that’s why it has a lot of industrial applications 🎉 stay tuned for more videos

[@JurassicGirl-o1y]

Amazing content as always! You never fail to exceed expectations with your creativity, attention to detail, and thorough explanations. Each video is better than the last, and I’m always excited to see what you come up with next. Keep up the fantastic work.

Great I had full marks in crystallography and mineralogy but I don’t know why I became a professional paleontologist 😀😀

[@GeologicalDiary]

Haha! Amazing Marco. It’s amazing. I remember that in my studies I also had my best marks in Carbonate sedimentology, but always work in Silisiclastic rocks 😂.
