Minerals could include clays, feldspars, quartz, micas, and pyrite
The 'common' or rock-forming minerals, such as quartz, feldspars, micas, calcite, etc.
The easiest minerals to recognize in a rock most times is Quartz, Feldsper and Micas.
The most abundant rock forming minerals are the silicates, like feldspars, micas, and quartz.
Platy minerals are micas(muscovite and biotite) and chlorite
The silicate group. The silicate group includes these minerals; quartz, feldspars, and micas.
Mica is a group of sheet silicate minerals (e.x of micas : Biotite, muscovite)
The silicate group of minerals comprise the largest percentage of the Earth's crust. Silicate minerals include quartz, feldspars, and micas.
The micas are used as dielectrics.
They would include olivine, quartz, the feldspars, and the micas.
phyllite is a type of metasedimentary rock. The parent rock likely contained clays and/or micas, which have metamorphosed into micas and aligned due to pressure. This shiny surface is produced by the alignment of the minerals.
The Muscovite mica group includes minerals such as muscovite, phlogopite, biotite, and lepidolite. Muscovite and phlogopite are the most common members of this group. These minerals are known for their sheet-like crystal structure and are commonly used in various industrial applications.
