Mineral Properties – Hardness, Cleavage, Fracture, Density, Reaction with Acid | Geology

goo.gl/LWVdoV For more FREE video tutorials covering Mineral Properties, Identifying Minerals and Geology In this video we look at the mineral properties we use to identify minerals. These properties include hardness, cleavage, fracture, density and reaction to acid. Hardness is measured on Mohs Scale of Hardness. Cleavage and fracture is described as planar, square, rhombahedral or two directional. Density of a mineral is indicated by the minerals specific gravity and a mineral that will reacts with acid this usually calcite. These videos are part of a topic on in identification and classification of different mineral types. In these videos we will look at different mineral properties and then classify many example mineral samples.
