History of Mineralogy Mineralogy Lecture 1 H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy Stone Age – the practice of mineralogical arts was started by early humans. They made use of flint tools, as shown evidently by cave paintings. Red hematite and black manganese oxides were used as pigments. Bronze Age – other minerals were sought from which metals could be extracted. 327-287 BC – Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher had made the first written work on minerals and to Pliny, who recorded 400 years later the mineralogical thought of his time H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy 1556 – publication of De Re Metallica by the German physician, Georgius Agricola was made. Gives account on mining practices and first factual account of mineral. The book was translated into English from the Latin in 1912 by former Pres. of the United States, Herbert Hoover, and his wife, Lou Henry Hoover. 1669 – contribution was made to crystallography by Nicholas Steno through his study of the quartz crystal. He noted that despite their differences in origin, size, or habit, the angles between corresponding faces are constant. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy 1780 – Carangeot invented a device called contact goniometer for the measurement of interfacial crystal angles 1783 – Rome de I’Lsle made an angular measurement on crystals confirming Steno’s work. Law of the Consistency of Interfacial Angle was formulated 1784 – Rene J. Hauy showed that crystals were built by tiny identical building blocks, which he called integral molecules. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy 1801 – Hauy developed the Theory of Rational Indences for Crystal Faces 19th Century – rapid advances were made 1809 – Wollaston invented the reflecting ganiometer which permitted highly accurate or precise measurements of the positions of crystal faces H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy 1912 – Max Von Laue of the University of Munich suggested Friedrich and Knipping to perform an experiment and demonstrate that crystals could diffract X-rays. X-ray diffraction became a powerful method in the study of minerals. 1913 – W.H. Bragg and W.L. Bragg published the earliest crystal structure determinations 1960 – Electron microprobe helped in the study of chemistry of minerals and is now routinely used for the study of minerals, synthetic compounds, and glasses. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy Between 1779-1848 – Berzelius, a Swedish chemist and his students studied the chemistry of minerals and developed the principles of our present chemical classification of minerals. 1815 – Cordier, a French naturalist initiated the immersion method which developed into an important technique for the study of optical properties of mineral fragments. A mineral Cordierite was named after him. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 History of Mineralogy 1828 – William Nicol, a Scotsman, invented a polarizing device that permitted the systematic study of the behavior of light in crystalline substances. The device is known today as the polarizing microscope. Latter part of 19th Century – Federov, Schoenflies, and Barlov developed theories for the internal symmetry and order within crystals which became the foundation of X-ray crystallography. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Mineral Property, Crystallography, and Crystal Chemistry H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Mineral Property, Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry What is MINERAL? In economics……… - any valuable material extracted from the earth, including coal, oil, sand and gravel, iron ore, or other mined commodity, even groundwater. In Nutritionist’s mind……… - any of a variety of chemical compounds or element that are important for health In common usage……… - anything that is neither animal nor vegetable might be considered as mineral H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Mineral Property, Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry What is MINERAL? In geology ……. 1. it must be naturally occurring 2. Crystalline Solid 3. Has definite chemical composition 4. Has ordered internal structure 5. Inorganically formed All of these categories must be met to be considered as mineral. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Mineral Property, Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry What is MINERAL? o Naturally occurring - formed by a natural process - synthetic products or those produced in the laboratory are not considered minerals Synthetic Mineral example: synthetic ruby is not a mineral o Homogenous solid - consists of a single solid substance that cannot be physically subdivided into simpler chemical compounds - excludes gases and liquids - ex. Ice in glacier is a mineral but water is not. o Definite chemical composition - means that atoms, or groups of atoms must occur in specific ratios. For ionic crystals (i.e. most minerals) ratios of cations to anions will be constrained by charged balance, however, atoms of similar charge and ionic radius may substitute freely for one another, hence definite, but not fixed. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Mineral Property, Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry What is MINERAL? Not fixed. Ex. Dolomite Ca Mg (CO3)2 is not always pure. It may contain Fe and Mn in place of Mg, therefore chemical formula becomes Ca (Mg,Fe,Mn)(CO3)2. • Ordered atomic arrangement - means crystalline, with three-dimensional periodic arrays of precise geometric arrangement of atoms. -example: both quartz and glass are composed of element (Si) silicon and (O) oxygen. The former has a specific arrangement while the latter have random arrangement. Glass lacks consistent atomic order and therefore considered as noncrystalline or Amorphous. • Formed by inorganic process - excludes the organically produced compounds - ex. Calcium carbonate in shells, pearl, petroleum and coal - inorganic means pertaining or relating to compound that contains no carbon. Biominerals H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Mineral Property, Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry Definition of terms Crystal – a homogenous solid possessing longrange, three dimensional, internal order. Rock – is an aggregate of minerals. It can be composed of only one kind of mineral (monomineralic) or of different kinds of minerals (polymineralic). Ore Minerals – those minerals from which one or more metals may be extracted at a profit. Industrial Minerals – those minerals which are, themselves, used for one or more industrial purposes such as in the manufacture of electrical and thermal insulators, refractories, ceramics, glass, abrasives, fertilizers, fluxes, cement, and other building materials. Gems – those minerals which have ornamental value, and which possess the qualities of beauty, durability, rarity, fashionability and portability. H.D.A.

Reyes | Correlation 1 Silicates Nesosilicates (Island Silicates) If the corner oxygens are not shared with other SiO4 (-4) tetrahedrons, each tetrahedron will be isolated. Thus, this group is often referred to as the island silicate group. The basic structural unit is then SiO4 (-4). In this group the oxygens are shared with octahedral groups that contain other cations like Mg+2, Fe+2, or Ca+2. Olivine is a good example: (Mg,Fe)2SiO4. H.D.A.

It is often referred to as the double island group because there are two linked tetrahedrons isolated from all other tetrahedrons. In this case, the basic structural unit is Si2O7 (-6). A good example of a sorosilicate is the mineral hemimorphite - Zn4Si2O7(OH).H2O. Some sorosilicates are a combination of single and double islands, like in epidote Ca2(Fe+3,Al)Al2(SiO4)(Si2O7)(OH).

H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Silicates SHEET SILICATE / PHYLLOSILICATE TOT + c Structure • If an Al+3 is substituted for every 4th Si+4 in the tetrahedral layer, this causes an excess -1 charge in each T-O-T layer. To satisfy the charge, K+1 or Na+1 can be bonded between 2 T-O-T sheets in 12fold coordination. • For the trioctahedral sheet silicates this becomes Phlogopite (Mgbiotite), and for the dioctahedral sheet silicates this becomes Muscovite. This makes a T-O-T - T-O-T layer that, again can bind to another T-O-T - T-O-T layer by weak Van der Waals bonds. It is along these layers of weak bonding that the prominent {001} cleavage in the sheet silicates occurs. H.D.A. Reyes | Correlation 1 Silicates SHEET SILICATE / PHYLLOSILICATE TOT + c Structure • Replacing 2 more Si+4 ions with Al+3 ions in the tetrahedral layer results in an excess -2 charge on a T-O-T layer, which is satisfied by replacing the K+1 with Ca+2. • This results in the trioctahedral sheet silicate - Clintonite and the dioctahedral sheet silicate - Margarite.
