Answer 1

I don't understand.... WHY do you folks do these kids' homework FOR THEM?... give them ideas of how and where to look UP the answers, so they know how the NEXT time!!.... no wonder they're lost when they're on their own..... this list would have taken ten minutes, tops, to look up and type out for the questioner..... now it takes two seconds to copy/paste and she's learned NOTHING....................I applaud those who answer 'do your own homework'..... I think it's fine when the question is one that deserves a lot of 'think tank' , to give opinions of answers, but something this simple should be done by the poster!!!....

Answer 2

There are a LOT of uses for those minerals... but here is one use for each.

Garnet - A gemstone.
Talc - Talcum powder, baby powder.
Corundum - Used as an abrasive in sandpaper
Topaz - A valuable gemstone
Pyrite - Used for the production of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid
Magnenite - I assume you meant Magnentite, which is a valuable souce of iron ore
Graphite - Primarily used in pencils and in tools and machines
Chalcopyrite - An important ore of copper.
Hemalite - I assume you mean Hematite, which is the main ore of iron.
Quartz - Primarily used in watches
Halite - Used in the production of sale and salt-based products
Muscovite - Used as a fireproofing material, sometimes used as a lubricant.
Biotite - Is not industrially useful, but is mined for collection purposes.
Gypsum - Used in drywall and plater-of-paris.
Calcite - Often the primary constituent of the shells of marine organisms.
Fluorite - Used in the production of enamels and cooking utensils.
Orthoclase - Used in the production of glass, porcelain, and ceramics.
Apatite - Primarily used to fertilize tobacco plants.
Azurite - Used as a blue pigment and in jewelry.

Answer 3

Garnet - A gemstone.also sand paper
Talc - Talcum powder, baby powder.
Corundum - Used as an abrasive in sandpaper In gem form is sapphires and rubies
Topaz - A semi-precious gemstone.
Pyrite - Used for the production of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid Used to be used as flints in lighters
Magnenite - I assume you meant Magnentite, which is a valuable souce of iron ore
Graphite - Primarily used in pencils and in tools and machines
Chalcopyrite - An important ore of copper.
Hemalite - I assume you mean Hematite, which is the main ore of iron.
Quartz - Primarily used in watches Primarily used to make glass (as sand)
Halite - Used in the production of salt and salt-based products
Muscovite - Used as a fireproofing material, sometimes used as a lubricant. Electrical and thermal insulation
Biotite - Is not industrially useful, but is mined for collection purposes.
Gypsum - Used in drywall and plater-of-paris. Also a valuable soil conditioner, frees up potassium bound in soils
Calcite - Often the primary constituent of the shells of marine organisms.No that's calcium carbonate. Calcite is the crystalline form, found in conjunction with weathered igneous rocks.
Fluorite - Used in the production of enamels and cooking utensils. Also hydrofluoric acid used to enrich uranium.
Orthoclase - A type of FELDSPAR. Used in the production of glass, porcelain, and ceramics. In its weathered form it is known as Kaolin and is used in paper, rubber tyres, paints and fillers for medicines.
Apatite - Primarily used to fertilize tobacco plants.
Azurite - Used as a blue pigment and in jewelry.

Answer 4

All used in cement? or they all all used for polishing?
now i'm curious
