I just remember I have an example of a silicate;Mica.

I have some examples of non silicate minerals that we learned about in class; Fluorite and Calcite

Oh I just remembered that a mineral with only one element is called a native element.

Oh,there's also one more way you can identify a mineral is color but it doesn't always work.

There's also 2 other ways you can identify using fracture and streak.

Interesting fact Olivia , I remember us talking about the way you can identify a mineral by luster and hardness.

# data[].attributes.body
No,but did you know that minerals are separated into two groups; silicate and non silicate.

Yeah,did you know that crystals are a type of mineral?Also a crystal has two elements which is called a compound.
