Fake Minerals

Lecture review 101. For those of you with potentially small attention span, we began talking about the many variables that go into determining what is a mineral. One important key factor that will make it pretty easy to start determining whether or not your working with a mineral is if its a solid or a liquid. I'm sure most of us can determine a solid from a liquid or at least I hope. Other mineral definitions would be if its inorganic and if it is naturally occurring. Basically stating that if there is no human or animal interference with the process of developing the mineral. At least that's what I got from it. And of course crystalline structure and characteristic chemical formula. If we can prove these definitions then we are sure enough working with a mineral. Now if only we can solve this gun control dilemma.
