Difference between Mineral and Sphalerite

Mineral vs. Sphalerite

A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes. Sphalerite ((Zn, Fe)S) is a mineral that is the chief ore of zinc.

Calcite

Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Crystal

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

Iridescence

Iridescence (also known as goniochromism) is the phenomenon of certain surfaces that appear to gradually change colour as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes.

Specific gravity

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.
