Nonsilicate mineral calcite in the carbonates group (CaCO3) || * Nonsilicate Minerals are divided into classes based on the anion or complex anoin that the members have in common
 * There are three classes of minerals carbonates, sulfates, and halides
 * Precious stones are given names that differ from their parent mineral
 * Minerals not suitable to be classified as gems are is called corundum
 * Gems look like regular rocks until they are examined, cut and polished
 * Precious stones are considered to be rubies, emeralds, blue sapphires, diamonds and some types of opal
 * Semi precious stone are considers to be stones that are easy to find and can come in large quantities
 * Nonsilicates like gypsum, calcite, and halite cmake up about 8% of earths crust ||

|| An example of a placer is the Diamond.

Halite is an important nonmetallic mineral.

An image of another important nonmetallic mineral, Sulfur. || - Nonsilicate minerals are typically subdivided into classes, based on the anion(neg. charged ions) or complex anion that the members have in common. - Weathering creates many important mineral deposits by concentrating minor amounts of metals that are scattered through unweathered rock into economically concentrations, and those transformations are usually called **secondary enrichment**. - The formation of bauxite is important because it is a result of enrichment by weathering processes. Bauxite usually forms in rainy tropical areas in association with laterites. - Many copper and silver deposits result when weathering processes concentrate metals that are deposited through a low-grade primary ore. - When Pyrite chemically weathers, sulfuric acid forms which lets percolating waters to dissolve the ore metals. - Placers are deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents. - Platinum,Diamonds and tin also form placers. - Earth materials that are not used as fuels or processed for the metals they contain are referred to as **nonmetallic mineral resources**. - Nonmetallic mineral resources are divided into two groups: //building materials and industrial minerals.// - Sulfur is an important nonmetallic resource. More than 80% is used to produce sulfuric acid. - Salt, known as halite, is also important. It is one of the most prominent nonmetallic minerals used as raw material in the chemical industry. ||

|| The non-silicate mineral calcite, CaCO3. One of the most common nonsilicate minerals. Most dominant in Limestone.



This is a model of a sulfate ion with a polyatomic ion charge of -2. These ions are one of the three most common nonsilicate minerals.

CaSO4 **.** 2H2O generally colorless to white; a common evaporite mineral and the primary component of "sheetrock". Gypsum is a sulfate mineral. || Oxides= contain negative ions. Calcite= a calcicum carbonate which is one of the most common carbonate minerals. Dolomite= a calcium/magnesium carbonate. Halite & Gypsum are commonly found in sedimentary rocks. Halite is like a table salt. Gypsum is used in plaster and other building materials. Secondary enrichment= concentrates minor amounts of metals into economically valuable concentrations. Bauxite= the principle ore of aluminum, created by enrichment. It forms in many tropical climates. copper and silver deposits result from weathering that are deposited through low-grade ore. Usually contains pyrite. Placers= deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents. Nonmetallic Minerals= earth minerals that aren't used as fuels or processed for the metals they contain. -Broken down into 2 main groups - industrial minerals and building minerals. Industrial minerals - ex. fertilizers, sulfur, &salt. ||

|| This picture shows an example of an anion complex.

This picture shows the weathering caused to the earth by the process of secondary enrichement.

An example of a sulfide.

An example of an oxide. || · The nonsilicate minerals are divided into classes, based on the anion or complex anion that the members have in common. · The non silicate mineral groups contain several economically important minerals such as oxides and sulfides. · The more common nonsilicate rock forming minerals include carbonate minerals. · **Secondary Enrichment**- weathering creates ore deposits by concentrating minor amounts of metals into economically valuable deposits. This process is accomplished by either: · **1**. ) removing undesirable materials and leaving the desired elements enriched in the upper zones of the soil or,  ·  **2**. ) Removing and carrying the desirable elements to lower zones where they are redeposited and become more concentrated. · Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum. · Earth materials that are not used as fuels or processed for the metals they contain are referred to as **nonmetallic resources**. The two groups of nonmetallic resources are building materials and industrial minerals. ||

|| 1)this shows a picture of all gemstones. These stones are all very precious and rare. They are classified by color or other groups.

2)this picture shows a placer, or a deposit of minerals.

3)This shows inustrial minerals, which are sources for fertilizers, or chemicalsto run the industry. || nonsilicate minerals are divided into classes based on anoions. nonsilicates make up 8 percent of earths crust when calcite is dominent mineral rock is called limestone, whereas dolostone results from predomiance. Gemstones are precious and are caterogiezed by color. mineral is naturally occuring. secondary enrichment takes place in 1 of 2 ways. The first is chemical weathering with downward movement, and second is the reverse of it. Bauxite pricipal ore of aluminum and forms in rainy tropical places. Placers are deposits formed when heavy minerals are concentrated by currents. nonmetallic minerals are eaarth minerals that arnt used as fuels or processed for mienrals are called it. Industrial minerals include fertilizers,sulfur, and salt. ||

This is an image of opal. Opal is a nonmetallic mineral resource. || Important Nonsilicate Minerals Carbonates- Calcite Halides- Halite Oxides- Hematite Sulfides- Pyrite Sulfates- Gypsum Native Elements- Gold

Weathering and Ore Deposits Weathering creates many important mineral deposits by concentrating minor amounts of metals that are scattered through unweathered rock into economically valuable concentrates.

Placer Deposits Placers- Deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents. Placers associate with streams are among the most common and best known, but the sorting action of waves can also create placers along the shore.

Nonmetallic Mineral Resources Nonmetallic Mineral Resources- Earth materials that are not used as fuels or processed for the metals they contain.

Industrial Minerals Many nonmetallic resources are classified as industrial minerals. Some of these minerals are important because they are sources of specific chemical elements and compounds. ||
