Garnet - gemstone, abrasive
Tale (Talc?) - cosmetics and lubricants
Corundum - gemstone, abrasive
Topeaz (Topaz?) - gemstone
Pyrite - "Fool's gold" - used in making sulfuric acid and early firearms
Magnenite (Manganite?) - rare source of Manganese
Graphite - pencil lead, lubricant
Chalcopyrite - leading source of copper
Hemalite (Hematite?) - used in Victorian jewelry
Quartz - used to keep time (vibrates with electric current)
Halite - rock salt, melts ice
Muscovite - used in many electrical components
Biotite - used in many electrical devices
Gypsum - in drywall, fertilizer, plaster
Calcite - antacids, animal feed, chemical industry
Fluorite - ceramics, toothpaste, plastics
Orthoclase - some glass, ceramic, porcelain, gemstone
Apatite - in tooth enamel, used as tobacco fertilizer in US, gemstone
Azurite - gemstone, blue pigment
Galena - semiconductor used in early wireless devices, applied around the eyes in Ancient Egypt to repel flies
Basically they are all gemstones.
Hope this helps.

Eric W is correct on most minerals except:
Talc - main cosmetic use is talcum powder
Magneite - Magnetite - important iron ore
Graphite - also used for making strong. light composite materials
Hematite - the most important iron ore
Quartz - also used in abrasives, and is one of the most
important components of building construction sand
Calcite - the main component of limestone. Used to make lime and most importantly, cement, as well as agricultural lime.
Azurite, an important copper ore
Galena - the most important lead ore.
Several of the minerals are used as gemstones, but most of them have other important uses.

Only know a few. Garnet: mostly in jewelry, Corundum: as an abrasive, Graphite: mostly in 'lead' pencils and also as an i.c. engine lubricant, Gypsum: in 'plaster' board for house walls and ceilings, Flourite: mostly added to house water supplies for helping reduce dental decay, also as a coating on photographic lenses.

. Well, I suppose if I Googled each material, I'd know what their uses are, right?
Gosh, that means if YOU Googled each element, YOU would know! wow.
...er, I think 'hermalite' is something gay people use in their discusting sexual orgies! But I could be mistaken.
