Geology Rocks!....

For this exercise, I want you to get as much information about a specific mineral as you can and write it up in a one page report, double spaced with 1" margins and 1.5 spacing (not double spaced). I prefer Google Classroom, BUT for now, until the end of this week, you may type it OR write it, OR e-mail it to me; If your paper is handwritten, it must be at least one and one-half pages in length (front and back). Things to include are mineral properties, history, chemistry, other minerals which are associated with it, uses, locations where it's found, any special significance, any special identifying features, and anything else you feel is either interesting or useful information about your particular mineral.
