:J. : :iay, ixrx s, THE FHANKLIN P3 and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE Till To identify Uceful LSnarab Of Thb Region BY H. J. ERYSON In th Farmers Federation New TjHE useful minerals of West J, ern North Carolina that have or are being produced on a com mercial scale are as' follows : barite, copper ores, corundum, feldspar, gold ore, garnet, iron ores, kaolin, cyanite, lead ore, manganese ore, mica, olivine, quartz, rutile talc and soapstone, vermiculite and zinc ore. ' In order to identify any of these minerals by description, one must have some knowledge of mineral ogy. However, the terms used in describing the above minerals may be explained briefly. The physical properties of the minerals, especially Tthoseobserved with the naked eye are color, lus ter, cleavage, fracture, hardness, specific, gravity or weight, and crystal structure. The color of a mineral is its appearance to the naked eye when observed in large fragments held in natural light. Most minerals have a different color when seen in an artificial light as well as when wet. The luster of the mineral is the manner in which it will reflect light. The terms usually used are metallic, submetallic, vitreous (meaning glassy), silky, pearly, greasy, dull, earthy and resinous. The cleavage of the mineral is when it has the tendency to split along different planes. The fracture is the manner-in wiuiii uit. iimit-iai uiaiws. x lie ' fracture" termsused "are splihfery ; that is, a mineral has a splintery fracture when it has a tendency to break into splinters ; conchoidal is when it breaks more or less shell like; uneven fracture is when a mineral has an uneven surface when broken. All minerals have a different weight' when pure, some minerals are very light while others are very heavy. The specific gravity, then, is calculated by how much heavier , the- mineral is than water. If the mineral has a specific grav ity of 4, that merely means it has a weight four times that of water. All minerals have a tendency un der certain conditions to crystallize in different forms. When minerals 4fA f rttn A Jti fltla. (Arm -sVIia. said to be crystallized. Many min erals are easily identified by their particular -crystalline structure. When quartz -occurs1 in crystals,- it always has six sides and .is said . . , . , to dc nexagonai. The:.hardness jjLa .mineral-isthe degree in which it resists abrasion. according to , a definite 'hardness table. The mineral talc has a hardness ' of 1 and diamond has a hardness' of 10. All other min erals ; have " a hardness between , this- range. Talc, then; is the ti : 1 i. J I : J suiicsi uiiucraiKiiuwD auu uuuuuiiu the hardest. The finger nail has a hardness of 2, brass a hardness of 3, a penny the hardness of 4, ordinary window glass a hard ness of 5.5i an ordinary knife blade a hardness of 6, and com mon quartz a hardness of 7. Below is' a brief description of each of the minerals named above : , Barite Barite: The mineral barite is also called heavy spar due to its excess weight. The color may be white, brown yellow or red and even at times it is colorless. The luster is' usuallyyitreous (glassy) or pearly. At times,, it has a cleav age in one direction and usually an "Irregular" fracture. " The hard ness is from 3 to 3.5 and specific gravity -4.5 It - is -then-a - rather heavy mineral since it is 4.5 times as1' heavy as water. The extreme weight is one of the easiest meth ods of recognizing it. . Copper Ore Copper Ores: The copper ores of Western North Carolina are usually in the form of chalcopyrite, the iron copper sulphide. These ores usually have a brassy yellow color, an uneven fracture, no cleav age, a hardness of 3.5 and a spe cific gravity of 4.2 to 4.3 Usually when copper ore is exposed to the atmosphere, they have a pe culiar display of colors which can be described by the name of "pea cock" colors. 5 Corundum Corundum: Corundum is found at a great number of localities in Western North Carolina and us ually distinguished by its extreme hardness which is 9. The color may be white, gray, yellow, brown, green, blue, pink or red. It is called sapphire "when blue and ruby when, red. In crystalline iorm, it has' a diamond-like luster. The fracture is always uneven with lit tle or no cleavage developed. The specific gravity is 3.95 to 4.1. It (it always distinguished by its hard ness and high specific gravity. Feldspar Feldspar: The name feldspar is assigned to a group of minerals which vary some in chemical com position but little in physical prop erties. In all, there are eight feldspars, found In Western North Carolina. The color may vary from white, tretn, flesh, red, gray to green and in some places may be even colorless. The luster is vitreous to pearly. The cleavage is usually well developed in one direction and sometimes, in two directions. When it has cleavage in two directions, the angles be tween the faces are usually less than 90 deg.; that is, less than a right angle. The hardness' is us ually 6, probably about the same as that of the knife blade. The -specific gravity is usually 2.57 to i.O. X Cold Ore Gold Ore: At a number of lo calities in Western North Carolina gold ores occur. When the gold occurs in what is known as the free state (pure gold) it is usually found in quartz. However, the sulphite ores may also contain gold. The best way to identify gold is to pan the ore very care fully and examine the residue in the pan under a glass. Gold is us ually yellowish with a hackley frac ture, a hardness of 2.5 to 3 and a specific! gravity of 19.3 when pure. It is usually identified by its high specific gravity, its com parative softness and its color. It is' usually softer than the minerals in which it is found. . Garnet , Garnet: There are six varieties of garnet found in Western North Carolina the two most important, however, are almandite and rhodo lite." Almandite garnet isalways a deep red to a brownish red color. I u-always -nas-a vitreous-orz giassy kster-and -uneven-fracture."-It has a hardness of 7 to 7.5 and its spe cific gravity is from 4 to 4.15. Some times it occurs as crystals which have, usually, twelve sides and these crystals are known as dododocahedrons. The rhodolite garnet has a peculiar color which may be classed as a pink or pale lavendar. The luster is always vitreous or glassy and fracture un even. Rhodolite is a mixture of almandite and pyfope garnet. Iron Ore Iron Ore: The iron ores of Western North Carolina are mag netite, hematite, limonite and py rite. Magnetite iron is identified by its quality of being easily at tracted by a magnet. It is usually steel gray to black in color and very heavy The fracture is un even, the hardness 6 and specific gravity 5.18. Hematite, another common iron -ore, has - a - peculiar red color. The red stain is left on the -fingers ; when rubbed over itoweyerttmetimeswhenn the pure state, hematite has a dark steel gray color and is. of ten mistaken- for silver. The hardness is55 166.5"and"the"specific"'grav ity 5.2, a little heavier than mag netite. This particular mineral is characterized by- its reddish streak. Limonite is-sometimescalled" brown hematite. The color is dark fcrown to black, sometimes yellowish and the streak is always yellowish brown. It always has an earthy appearance the hardness is 5 to 5.5 when pure. The mineral pyrite is always a pale brassy! yellow. Sometimes it is mistaken for gold and is often called "fool's gold." Occasionally, it is found in perfect cubes in crystalline form. The hardness is 6 to 6.5, much harder than any of the other yellowish minerals. Kaolin z Kaolin ti Kaolin is a type of clay composed essentially of the mineral kaolinite. It is formed by the weathering of feldspars. It is al ways .white when . in pure form, very-soft - and -usuallyrcovered -and never found exposed on the sur face. When washed carefully, ka olin is the purest clay known. Cyanite Cyanite: The mineral cyanite is sometimes spelled kyanite to dis tinguish it from other materials, The mineral cyanite occurs in three forms: as large crystals in quartz; as pure lenticular deposits; and in schists. It always occurs in crystal form, usually blue in color but sometimes may be white, gray or green. It ' has a: vitreous to pearly luster and a hardness of 5 to 7 and a specific gravity of 3.56, to 3.66. - Lead Ore : Lead Ore: The lead of North Carolina is in the form of galena, the lead sulphide. Galena is rec ognized by its lead gray color and its cleavage which is perfect in three directions. When this min eral is broken; it breaks into small cubes. The color is always lead gray, the streak grayish black and the cleavage perfect. It has' a hardness of 2.5, slightly harder than the finger nail, and a specific grav ity of 7.6. Manganese Ore Manganese Ore:. The manganese ores found in Western North Car olina are principally prolusite and psilomelane. The pyrolusite Is' al ways iron black in color with a splintery fracture and a hardness of 2 to 2.5. The specific, gravity is 4.75. Philomelane is a somewhat harder mineral than pyrolusite but hat the iron black color and a brownish black itreak. The hard ness is 5 to 6 and specific grav ity of 4.3. These minerals are easily identified by the fact that they will stain the fingers when handled. Mica Mica: There are several va rieties of mica found in Western North Carolina. The most common varieties are muscovite and biotite. The muscovite is usually of very light . color while the biotite is dark even at times black. Mica is easily recognized due to the fact that it splits into very thin sheets', therefore, it has perfect cleavage in one direction. Mica is sometimes called isinglass. This is not correct due to the fact hat isinglass is an artificial product. Olivine Olivine: Since the mineral ol ivine has recently become of in terest in certain industries, it is mentioned at this time. This min eral is usually called crysolite and sometimes peridot. Olivine, I think, is -the -best -name for this mineral due to the fact that it is always an olive green color. The lustre is vitreous, fracture uneven, hard ness 6.5 to 7 and specific gravity 327 to 3.37. The chief distinguish ing properties are its olive, green color and its peculiar sugary or granular appearance. Quarts Ouartz: Quartz is the most com mon of the minerals. It occurs in several forms and is called rock crystal when perfectly clear, ame thyst when lavendar, agate when streaked, jasper when red, . chert when black. It is commonly known as flint. It may be almost any color and always has a vitreous or glassy appearance. It has a hard ness of 7 and a' specific gravity of 2.65. When in' cj;ystaWorm, it always has p sides.

The color may vary from green to white. It has a hardness of 1 and a specific gravity of 2.8. Any of the talc minerals will make a mark on clothing. Vermltcjulite Vermiculite: There are several varieties of vermiculite found in the western part of the State. These minerals are very closely related to the micas but are 'recog nized easily by the fact that they will expand considerably when heated even at a low temperature. The colors vary through the va rious shades of green to a bronze or even to a golden yellow. -They are non-elastic, that is, when bent they remain in that position. The true micas are elastic. . Zinc Ore Zinc Ore: The zinc ore in West ern North Carolina is usually in the form of the sulphide. This material is often called zinc blend or black jack.; The-nameHs-sphal-erite. The color is always dark brown to coal black, the streak light to dark brown. The hardness is 3.5 and specific gravity 4.05. This mineral is usually recognized by the fact that it has a peculiar resinous color, at times resembl ing beeswax."
