We Welcome VISITORS!<br \/>\nBeginning in 2010, Daisy Mountain Rock &#038; Mineral Club was organized as a non-profit corporation to further the interest and educate the public in the many geological features of the terrain located in the mid-deserts located around Phoenix, Arizona.<br \/>\nOur founders,  geologists and educators Herb Jacobson, Robert Salter, Keith Martin and Jay Yett were joined by &#8220;rock-hounds&#8221; Dan Janko, Edward Winbourne and Joan Jamtass in 2009 to create a non-profit corporation dedicated to sharing their knowledge and experience in geological formations.<br \/>\nFrom <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dmrmc.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.dmrmc.com\/<\/a>:<br \/>\nMINERALOGY: THE STUDY OF MINERALS<br \/>\nA mineral is naturally occurring, inorganic (it has not lived), crystalline solid, with a definite chemical formula (or formula range). In contrast, a rock is generally a combination of minerals or organic remains, and therefore does not have a unique, specific, or consistent chemical composition.<\/p>\n<p>There are over 5,421 known mineral species. Over 5,208 of these have been approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). It is worthy of note that since silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth&#8217;s crust, the 1000 silicate minerals comprise over 90% of the minerals of the crust&#8211; the two most common being quartz and feldspar.<\/p>\n<p>Minerals are identified by their physical and chemical properties:<\/p>\n<p>*crystal structure (there are 7 systems &#8211;isometric, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, monoclinic, and triclinic)<\/p>\n<p>*crystal form (cubic, tetrahedral, rhombohedral&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>*habit (blocky, arborescent, acicular&#8230;),<\/p>\n<p>*color,<\/p>\n<p>*luster (how a mineral reflects light&#8211;adamantine, vitreous, resinous, greasy, metallic&#8230;,)<\/p>\n<p>*hardness (a measure of a mineral&#8217;s scratchability),<\/p>\n<p>*cleavage (a flat, repeatable break determined by the atomic structure) or<\/p>\n<p>*fracture (irregular, non-repeatable break characteristic of minerals with bonding equal in all directions),<\/p>\n<p>*tenacity (a description of a mineral&#8217;s resistance to breaking or deformation&#8211; brittle, malleable, ductile, sectile, elastic, plastic)<\/p>\n<p>*diaphaneity (how a mineral transmits light&#8211; transparent, translucent, opaque),<\/p>\n<p>*specific gravity (a comparison of a mineral&#8217;s weight to that of an equal volume of water) , and<\/p>\n<p>*special characteristics: magnetism, reaction to acid, taste, smell, radioactivity<\/p>\n<p>*chemical composition (there are 6 basic chemical classes of minerals &#8211; native elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, silicates, phosphates)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2019 ANTHEM GEM &#038; MINERAL SHOW March 16th Saturday 9am\u20145pm March 17th Sunday 10am\u20144pm Anthem Mineral Show Coupon Boulder Creek High School 40404 N Gavilan Peak Pkwy Anthem, AZ 85086 Kids events, Gems, Minerals, Fossils, Jewelry, Fluorescents, Beads Wire Wrapping, Geodes, Adults $4, Seniors and Students $2, Children 12 and under FREE Sponsored by Daisy &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/2019-anthem-gem-mineral-show\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;2019 ANTHEM GEM &#038; MINERAL SHOW&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[102,95,5,32,47,94,93,46,96,33],"tags":[78,3,131,39,73,84,4,149,45,29,153,152],"class_list":["post-2331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmentalism","category-gemstone","category-geodes","category-geology","category-ice-age","category-jewelry","category-lapidary","category-paleontology","category-peridot","category-science","tag-gem-and-mineral-club","tag-geode","tag-geodes","tag-herkimer-diamond","tag-herkimer-diamonds","tag-mindat","tag-rockhound","tag-rockhound-rockhounds-rockhounding","tag-rockhounding","tag-rockhounds","tag-tucson-gem-and-mineral-show","tag-tucson-gem-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2338,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331\/revisions\/2338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.americangeode.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
