Calcite has rhombohedral cleavage, a hardness of 3 and fizzes in in HCl.
Feldspar has elongated cleavage, orthoclase (K-feldspar) is typically pink, plagioclase has striations on its surface and it typically white/grey.
Pyroxene has elongated cleavage at 88 and 92 degree angles. Its typically greener than amphiboles.
vvvvv Pyroxene is a mineral. Not a rock. It can be found in both igneous and metamorphic rocks.vvvvv

pyroxene is generally a very dark metamorphoc rock.
calcite is usually clear of white-ish, and is known for it's ability to react to acids with a fizz (like an Tums)
There are two different kinds of feldspar. I can only think of potassium feldspar off the top of my head. one is generally pinkish, and the other is kinda orange-y.
I know that was very vague, but i hope i helped a bit...

i do no longer think of that that's plausible to differentiate between Shariah and guy-made rules. Shariah rules are supposedly immediately taken from the religious texts, whether that may no longer plausible without the element to human interpretation of suggested texts. the a number of factions of Islam are testomony to the topic concerns bobbing up from this human interpretation, and it has led to plenty conflict as each and each group perceives their particular interpretation simply by fact the 'wonderful' one. i think of that attempting to apply a unmarried textual content fabric as a regulation-making gadget is often going to be no longer basic. I additionally experience that we are residing in an enlightened adequate age, and characteristic adequate background at the back of us to act responsibly and ourselves choose what's seen good and incorrect. The human race is counseled adequate and has the communication hyperlinks required to make first rate judgements ourselves, fairly than in keeping with a localised interpretation of an historical textual content fabric of origins that are seen doubtful via some. i'm hoping that we are able to pass forward and that i anticipate a destiny the place that's the case. Somtimes i think of i replaced into born one hundred years or so too early!
