  • Now that we know what minerals are, how can we identify them? Geologists use a number of properties of minerals to figure out which mineral they are looking at. The first two we will examine are luster and color. Let's get a closer look!

    That was genuinely a treat to watch !. We're so lucky that you're the only one to deal with such amazing and forgotten topics. A side note also that this topics are never easy to explain especially in a brief video but fortunately for us you give a new definition for excellency.

      @@VestigialHead i meant for an average learner like me i never had the chance to dive deeply in such topic since the majority of youtube educational channels offers the most topics related strictly to medicine, biology, chemistry, etc.. so to find a well known channel that encompasses all what science has to offer is quite exciting for me :)

    This might be random, but have you done a video on elements used in classic paints? Thanks, Dave!

      Pigments are made from all sorts of things like eg elephant urine provided the elephants have only eaten mango leaves 🍃 you should probably know this 😅 if you’re watching this video however aboriginal art would consist of more elements than classical European paints

    Technically all corundum that aren't rubies are called sapphire, doesn't require they be blue.

    Professor Dave: Can you comment on opal? It's my birthstone (October) and I've never been in a position to conduct the tests you're describing here on opal. I'd assume that opal is some kind of hydrated silica based on its outward appearance, but opals I've seen come in many different colors and degrees of translucency. Does this mean that different opals pick up different trace metals to produce different colors? Thanks again for these informative videos!
