Carbonate Minerals Identification in Geology | Calcite, Dolomite, Aragonite | Earth Detective

Carbonate minerals play a crucial role in geology and Earth science. In this video, we will explore identifying key carbonate minerals based on their physical and chemical properties. 📌 Carbonate Minerals Covered in This Video: ✅ Calcite (CaCO₃) – Effervesces with HCl, rhombohedral cleavage ✅ Aragonite (CaCO₃) – Polymorph of calcite, found in marine organisms ✅ Strontianite (SrCO₃) – Contains strontium, reacts with acid ✅ Dolomite (CaMg(CO₃)₂) – Weak acid reaction unless powdered ✅ Siderite (FeCO₃) – Iron carbonate, brownish color ✅ Malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂) – Green copper carbonate, used as a gemstone ✅ Azurite (Cu₃(CO₃)₂(OH)₂) – Deep blue copper carbonate, associated with malachite ✅ Rhodochrosite (MnCO₃) – Pink manganese carbonate, forms beautiful crystals ✅ Magnesite (MgCO₃) – Contains magnesium, used in industry ✅ Cerussite (PbCO₃) – Lead carbonate, high specific gravity 🔬 Learn how to identify these carbonate minerals through tests such as acid reaction, hardness, cleavage, crystal form, and streak test.
