|
| Barite: Barite is an
important commercial mineral.
Barite “mud” is poured into deep
oil wells. The heavy mud helps
to flush rock chips away from
the drilling head and float them
to the surface for inspection.
The heavy mud also partially
supports the enormous weight of
the steel drilling tools. more... |

| Bentonite: Bentonite is a
highly absorbent clay-like
substance that helps to lift
impacted waste matter which has
accumulated on the walls of the
gastrointestinal tract. The name
bentonite refers to a clay first
identified (or named) in
cretaceous rock. The notion of
eating clay to produce internal
healing will no doubt strike
many as farfetched if not a
little primitive. But natural
clay, especially the form known
as bentonite, has not only been
used medicinally more... |

| Calcite: In cements,
mortars, and the production of
lime. Limestone is used in the
steel industry; glass industry
and as the ornamental stone
marble. Calcite is also used in
chemical and optical uses and as
mineral specimens. more... |

Chromate: Chromate is the
most important ore of chromium
from which it derives its name.
Chromium is an important metal
and has a wide range of
industrial uses.
chromate forms in deep ultra-mafic
magmas and is one of the first
minerals to crystallize. It is
because of this fact that
chromate is found in some
concentrated ore bodies. While
the magma is slowly cooling
inside the Earth's crust,
chromate crsytals are forming
and because of their density,
fall to the bottom and are
concentrated there. more... |
 |
| Dolomite: Dolomite is used
for manufacturing certain types
of refractory bricks used in
steel making. The dolomite is
heated to a high temperature to
drive off the carbonate as
carbon dioxide and the remaining
material, a mixture of calcium
and magnesium oxides, is blended
with carbon and other materials
and pressed into blocks for the
furnaces. The magnesium and
calcium oxides have very high
melting points and are an
excellent, inexpensive refractory material.

| Feldspar: Feldspar is used
to make dinnerware and bathroom
and building tiles. In ceramics
and glass production, feldspar
is used as a flux. A flux is a
material that lowers the melting
temperature of another material, in this case, glass.

Gilsonite: Gilsonite, or
North American Asphaltum is a
natural, resinous hydrocarbon
found in the Uintah Basin in
northeastern Utah. This natural
asphalt is similar to a hard
petroleum asphalt and is often
called a natural asphalt,
asphaltite, uintaite, or
asphaltum. Gilsonite is soluble
in aromatic and aliphatic
solvents, as well as petroleum
asphalt. Due to its unique
compatibility, Gilsonite is
frequently used to harden softer petroleum products.

Gypseous: Fine Gypsum
specimens are very popular among
mineral collectors, especially
the varieties Selenite and
Desert Rose. Plaster of Paris,
plasterboards, cement, drywall,
ornamental stone, jewelry.

| Kaolin: Kaolin (a clay mineral) and mica can be
substituted for talc in the
production of rubber, paint, and
plastics. Kaolin can be used in
place of talc in paper production.

 |
| Mica: Used today mostly as
rare mineral Specimens. Phlogopite was a little rarer
member than the other micas. But
not uncommon. It was mined for
it's good heat and electrical
insulating properties. Which are superior to other micas.

| Perlite: The majority of
Perlite is used in construction
products, mainly ceiling tiles
and roof insulation products,
but also as refractory bricks (a
refractory brick is a brick
designed to withstand very high
temperatures), pipe insulation,
and filling in masonry block
construction. For example, loose
Perlite is poured into holes in
concrete blocks after they are
laid in place to improve the
insulating quality of the
construction.

Red Iron Oxide: Painting,
Forgery ,drilling. Hematite is
the principle ore of iron. Huge
quantities are mined yearly for
industrial production.

| Silica : Used in manufacture
of special steels and cast iron,
aluminum alloys, glass and
refractory materials, ceramics,
abrasives, water filtration,
component of hydraulic cements,
filler in cosmetics,
pharmaceuticals, paper,
insecticides, rubber reinforcing
agent - especially for high
adhesion to textiles,
anti-caking agent in foods,
flatting agent in paints,
thermal insulator. Fused silica
is used as an ablative material
in rocket engines, spacecraft,
silica fibers used in reinforced
plastics. more... |

Sodium chloride: Used in
human and animal diet, food
seasoning and food preservation,
used to prepare sodium
hydroxide, soda ash, caustic
soda, hydrochloric acid,
chlorine, metallic sodium, used
in ceramic glazes, metallurgy,
curing of hides, mineral waters,
soap manufacture, home water
softeners, highway de-icing,
photography, herbicide, fire
extinguishing, nuclear reactors,
mouthwash, medicine (heat exhaustion), in scientific
equipment for optical parts.

 |
| Talc: Ground talc is used as
an ingredient in ceramics,
paper, paint, roofing, plastics,
cosmetics, talcum and baby
powders, and a variety of other
assorted uses such as making
rubber and plastics.
