NeS Rocks & Minerals Virtual Library
"What is a rock? A cocktail of atoms combines to form crystals. Crytals form minerals. Minerals combine to make rocks." Eyewitness Rocks & Minerals educational video
What is the difference between a rock and a mineral? "Minerals are pure, solid and defined by a distinctive chemical formula. Rocks, like chocolate chip cookies are combinations of many minerals. Unlike a cookie, minerals are contantly recycled." Eyewitness Rocks & Minerals educational video (see video below) |
