Answer 3

can't argue much with that answer apart from a few minor spelling errors and one mineral I did not recognize.

In the future, if you are at all interested, there are a lot of websites that have info on minerals. Some of them get pretty detailed, but others can be quite good with pictures and interesting details about the minerals. You should really do a search.

Also, wikipedia has a page "list of minerals" that has a huge number of minerals with links in wikipedia.
