Minerals

Virtual Mineral Kit: Photographs of all of the minerals in the EESC 111 mineral and rock kit for online labs. Photographs are in slide decks that show the samples from different angles. Note: The slide decks may be slow to load initially, but once they do, you can go through them quickly.

Find the Cleavage: A collection of 3D models with good examples of mineral cleavage or fracture. See if you can spot the cleavage, then check your answer.

Mystery Minerals: This sample is labelled as biotite, but what’s really there?
