MINERAL TEST 1
Density
YOU WILL NEED
INTERESTING!
Density is a property identified in
relation to water. A unit of water about
the size of a sugar cube weighs 1 gram.
The same-sized quantity of pyrite
weighs 5 grams, so it has a density of 5.
The other minerals are somewhere
between the two, around 2.5 to 3.
Aha!
The greater the
density of a
mineral, the
heavier it is.
Take the pyrite rock in one hand and
select another rock of about equal size
from the kit box. Hold it in your other
hand and compare their weights.
Which is heavier?

Identifying Minerals
Mineral collectors have
developed many methods for
identifying the specimens they
collect — in other words, to
find out what mineral is
present in each specimen they
find. Sometimes a complicated
chemical analysis may be
required, but there are also a
few simple tests that you can
perform yourself.
