Study Notes

Crystals and Crystallization Key Concepts

Almost all minerals are crystalline with a repetitive atomic arrangement.
Crystals originate from small seeds and can grow very large.
Igneous minerals mainly consist of silicates and precipitate from magma.
Aqueous minerals, including highly soluble compounds, precipitate from water.
Hydrothermal minerals form from warm flowing waters.
Metamorphic minerals develop through solid-state reactions during metamorphism.
Some minerals form during weathering or diagenesis processes.
Minerals may not form or remain stable under all conditions.
Minerals can have defects involving misplaced or missing atoms.
Minerals may be heterogeneous in nature.
Mineral crystals may be twinned, containing domains with slightly different atomic orientations.
Minerals must be crystalline by definition, with only a few exceptions.
