Grup Olivine
The Olivine group is composed of three minerals, with the
following formulas:
Forsterite = Mg2SiO4
Olivine (Chrysolite) = (Mg,Fe)2SiO4
Fayalite = Fe2SiO4
Augite

Grup Amphibole
There are several different minerals within the amphibole group, but the most
common type is hornblende. You can find small crystals of hornblende in many
types of igneous rocks. They often look like little dark specks.

Grup Mika dan Clay
Mica minerals make some rocks sparkle! They are often found in igneous rocks
such as granite and metamorphic rocks such as schist. Most common mica
minerals: muscovite , biotite.

Grup Feldspar
Feldspar is the most common mineral in the Earth’s crust, so you are very likely to find it
in the rocks you collect! It is found it all of the three rock types, but is most common in
intrusive igneous rocks like granite where the crystals look white or pink.

•Shape: Monoclinic (Flat tabular or prism-shaped crystals)
•Luster: Glassy or pearly
•Color: Cream to pink
•Streak: White
•Hardness: 6 on Mohs Hardness Scale
•Cleavage: perfect
•Fracture: brittle
Plagioclase CaNaAlSi3O8
•Shape: Triclinic (Single prism-shaped crystals are very rare. You are much
more likely to find many crystals that have grown together in a mass.
•Luster: Glassy or pearly
•Color: White to gray
•Streak: White
•Hardness: 6-6.5
•Cleavage: perfect
•Fracture: brittle
Grup Kuarsa
Quartz is one of the most common mineral in Earth’s crust! Silica (Si) and Oxygen (O)
are the only elements within pure quartz. Quartz can be found in all sorts of rocks. Most
sand is made of quartz because it is hard and does not weather away easily. Some
pieces of quartz are white like milk but most are clear like glass, sometimes with a little
pink or grey tinge of color.
