Gypsum and Flurite are both shiny and white and they both have white streaks and cleave and shows no reaction to acid. The gravity of the mineral is 3.18 g which is much higher than gypsum. So it should be flourite. | Mineral 1: Pyrite | 100% certain | I am 100% sure it would be Pyrite because it does meet all the qualification of Talc. | Mineral 2: Talc | 100% certain | I am 100% sure that this would be Talc because o the qualification of Talc. | Mineral 3: Calcite | 73% certain | I am about 73% suree it this is Calcite. However this does show similarities with Gypsum, Quartz, Borax. | Mineral 4: Orthoclase Feldspar | 96% certain | I’m 96% sure this is Orthoclase Feldspar because of the qualification it meets for Orthoclase Feldspar.

The magma cooled slowly underground (allowing the larger crystals to form) and then quickly at the Earth's surface (where the tiny crystals formed). When magma cools too quickly for any crystals to grow, the resulting texture is glassy.…
