It consists largely of the minerals gibbsite Al(OH)3, bohemite γ-AlO(OH), and diaspore α-AlO(OH), together with the iron oxides goethite and hematite, the clay mineral kaolinite and small amounts of anatase TiO2.

Placers supplied most of the gold for a large part of the ancient world. Hydraulic mining methods such as hushing were used widely by the Romans across their empire, but especially in the gold fields of northern Spain after its conquest by Augustus in 25 BC.

Magnetite is an oxide and is an important ore of iron. || Pg 95-97 Important Nonsilicate Minerals

- They are divided into classes, based on the anion(negatively charge ion) or complex anion that the members have in common.

- Minerals in each group have a similar physical property that are useful in mineral identification.

- Common Nonsilicate Minerals Carbonates, Halides, Oxides Sulfides,sulfates, and Native elements (single elements). Pg 647-650 -secondary enrichment - weathering creates many important mineral deposits by concentraring minor amounts of metal that are scattered through unweathered rock into economically valuable concentrations.

Bauxite - forms in tropical climates. Nonmetallic mineral resources - minerals that are not used as fuels or processed for the metals they contain.

Placers - are deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents.

- Placers associated with streams are among the most common and best known, but the sorting action of waves can also create placers along the shores. Industrial Materials - Fertilizers, sulfur,salt. ||

 * Nonsilicate minerals: they are subdivided into classes based on their anion or complex anions, the members are common to one another.
 * Most common nonsilicate minerals belong to one of the three classes of minerals known as the carbonates.
 * Limestone: when calcite is the dominant mineral.
 * Dolostone results from predominance of dolomite.
 * Mineral: naturally occurring inorganic solid with orderly crystalline structure.
 * Building blocks of minerals are called elements.
 * Atoms combine with each other to form more complex substances: compounds.
 * Secondary enrichment takes place in two ways.
 * Chemical weathering coupled with downward percolating water removes materials from decomposing rock.
 * Reverse of the first. Desirable elements are found in low concentrations.
 * Bauxite: Principal ore of aluminum is important of ore created as a enrichment by weathering process.
 * Placers: deposits formed when heavy minerals are mechanically concentrated by currents.
 * Nonmetallic mineral resources are the non used fuels or processed metals that contain them.

 * Nonsilicate minerals are typically subdivided into classes based on the anion or complex anion that the members have in common
 * Nonsilicates make up about 8% of Earth’s crust

 * Nonmetallic mineral resources- a mineral resource that is not a fuel or processed for the metals it contains
 * Natural aggregate consists of crushed stone, sand, and gravel
 * Fertilizers—primarily nitrate, phosphate, and potassium compounds—are extremely important to agriculture
 * Sulfur is very important because from it sulfuric acid is produced and it is used phosphate fertilizer
 * Common salt, known by the mineral halite is another important resource, because it is a part of many food products

|| Calcite is a nonmetallic mineral used in aggregation, steel making, and cement. It can be found in sedimentary deposits.

Sulfur is a nonmetallic mineral used in chemicals such as fertilizers. It is commonly found sedimentary deposits and hydorthermal deposits.

Graphite is a nonmetallic mineral used for pencil lead and lubricant. It can be found in metamorphic deposits. || Notes p.95-97, 647-650 I would expect a few more notes her e || Pages 95-97 Pages 647-650 Sulfur has a very low thermal conductivity meaning it cannot transfer heat very well. The touch of a hand will cause a sulfur crystal to crack because the crystal’s surface warms faster than the interior. water cannons were used to break down the gold-bearing gravel deposits with tremendous volumes of water under high pressure. //Opal// //is the only gemstone that holds all colours of the spectrum.
