Lab 3: Mineral Examples!


For this most recent lab, our class was split into two halves and sent to identify a series of thirteen rocks based on what we learned in the class and what was in the textbook. Our group definitely was the more fun group, even if we took five minutes longer. Below is the list of rocks/minerals that we identified in class.
Here it is, slightly less blurry:
  1. Pumice
  2. Mica
  3. Kaolin
  4. Muscovite
  5. Obsidian
  6. Potassium Feldspar
  7. Galena
  8. Hornblende
  9. Amethyst
  10. Quartz
  11. Halite
  12. Calcite
  13. Limestone
