Garnet: any of a group of hard glassy minerals (silicates of various metals) used as gemstones and as an abrasive.

Atomic Number 12: a light silver-white ductile bivalent metallic element; in pure form it burns with brilliant white flame; occurs naturally only in combination (as in magnesite and dolomite and carnallite and spinel and olivine).

Ruby Spinel: a spinel used as a gemstone (usually dark red).

Nepheline: a whitish mineral consisting of sodium aluminum silicate or potassium aluminum silicate in crystalline form; used in the manufacture of ceramics and enamels.

Balas: a pale rose-colored variety of the ruby spinel.

Cuprite: a mineral consisting of cuprous oxide that is a source of copper.

Turquoise: a blue to grey green mineral consisting of copper aluminum phosphate.

Nephrite: an amphibole mineral consisting of calcium magnesium silicate in monoclinic crystalline form; a source of jade that is less valuable than from jadeite; once believed to cure kidney disorders.

Spodumene: a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminum silicate; a source of lithium.

Emery: a hard grey-black mineral consisting of corundum and either hematite or magnetite; used as an abrasive (especially as a coating on paper).

Zeolite: any of a family of glassy minerals analogous to feldspar containing hydrated aluminum silicates of calcium or sodium or potassium; formed in cavities in lava flows and in plutonic rocks.

Actinolite: a green mineral of the amphibole group; calcium magnesium iron silicate.

Hornblende: a green to black mineral of the amphibole group; consists of silicates of calcium and sodium and magnesium and iron.

Pinite: grey or green or brown mineral similar to mica and containing aluminum and potassium sulphates.

Atomic Number 11: a silvery soft waxy metallic element of the alkali metal group; occurs abundantly in natural compounds (especially in salt water); burns with a yellow flame and reacts violently in water; occurs in sea water and in the mineral halite (rock salt).

Ilmenite: a weakly magnetic black mineral found in metamorphic and plutonic rocks; an iron titanium oxide in crystalline form; a source of titanium.

Ader Wax: a waxy mineral that is a mixture of hydrocarbons and occurs in association with petroleum; some varieties are used in making ceresin and candles.

Rock: a lump or mass of hard consolidated mineral matter.

Cassiterite: a hard heavy dark mineral that is the chief source of tin.

Atomic Number 50: a silvery malleable metallic element that resists corrosion; used in many alloys and to coat other metals to prevent corrosion; obtained chiefly from cassiterite where it occurs as tin oxide.

Milk Of Magnesia: purgative consisting of a milky white liquid suspension of magnesium hydroxide; used as a laxative and (in smaller doses) as an antacid.

Heulandite: a group of minerals of the zeolite family consisting of a hydrous aluminum silicate of sodium and calcium.

Calculus: a hard lump produced by the concretion of mineral salts; found in hollow organs or ducts of the body.

Isinglass: any of various minerals consisting of hydrous silicates of aluminum or potassium etc. that crystallize in forms that allow perfect cleavage into very thin leaves; used as dielectrics because of their resistance to electricity.

Mag Tape: memory device consisting of a long thin plastic strip coated with iron oxide; used to record audio or video signals or to store computer information.

Atomic Number 28: a hard malleable ductile silvery metallic element that is resistant to corrosion; used in alloys; occurs in pentlandite and smaltite and garnierite and millerite.

Cinnabar: a heavy reddish mineral consisting of mercuric sulfide; the chief source of mercury.

Bornite: a mineral consisting of sulfides of copper and iron that is found in copper deposits.

Green Lead Ore: a mineral consisting of lead chloride and phosphate; a minor source of lead.

Millerite: a yellow mineral consisting of nickel sulfide; a minor source of nickel.

Semiprecious: used of gemstones having less commercial value than precious stones.
