19. Who am I?

• I come in two colors.

• But both colors have the same color streak.

• My streak is red/brown.

• I’m named for my blood-red color.

HEMATITE

20. Who am I?

• I am a polymorph.

A Diamond!!

• I am made of pure carbon

•I form under extreme heat and pressure.

•I have a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale

•I am very valuable

Other form? graphite

21. Who am I?

• I am composed of 3 or 4 minerals.

The rock: GRANITE

• I am usually pink in color, though I can be gray, green or black depending on what minerals I have in me.

•I have large crystals that are easily seen.

• My minerals cool at different rates.

22. Who am I?

• I am the largest group of all the minerals.

SILICATES

•I make up 90% of all the rocks in earth.

• I am made of basically 2 elements

• I am formed from silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons.
