What is the least abundant rock in Earth's crust, and contains no silicon
400
naturally occurring
What is not man-made. can be found in nature.
400
solution inside earth
What is solvent cools. ex. gold and silver formation
400

500
chemical compostition
What is has a definiate chemical compostition...in set ratio of elements that never varies
500
organic processes
What is organic organisms create shells, exoskeletons, etc. which are calcite minerals
500
3 possible other attributes

500
volume and density irregular shape
What is use water displacement method (describe) for volume then mass/volume for density. label g/cubed cm. (1 ml = 1 cubed cm)
