Basalt is a mafic rock, which means it is rich in magnesium (Mg)
and iron (Fe), and low in silica (Si02).

Granite is hard and durable enough to

resist abrasion and bear significant weight.

Mica is optically flat, translucent,

and elastic in nature.

Pumice has an average porosity of 90%

and initially floats on water.

Dolomite is colourless, white, buff coloured, pinkish, or bluish.

Biotite has a highly perfect basal cleavage,

 and consists of flexible sheets, or lamella, which easily flak off.

In calcite, light passing through the crystal is split into two rays ,
each following a different path and experiencing different velocities.

Garnet are most translucent, although they

may range from transparent to nearly opaque.

Most bituminous are colloidal in nature.

They have no specific melting, boiling or freezing point.

Chalk is soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock.
