[@hemakshigupta_moonlight]

Hi, I have a doubt. What does it mean for a substance not to have a fixed chemical formula? Like if it doesn't have a fixed chemical formula, then what kind of formula it has with example? Thank You

They're rocks, Hank.

[@johnosman8971]

Even though some rocks are just that, minerals, are just a bit different, like a diamond, it’s rarity, is what makes it worth more, … basalt, is of volcanic nature, and it’s hardness is above many others on the MOHS scale, … liquid mercury, is a metal, but is generally not a solid, … hence the liquid portion of it is still a mineral, no?

Mike, You have a gift for conveying knowledge as well as reminding a senior citizen of something he learned in grade school but forgot in the intervening years. I’m planning on doing some rockhounding in retirement and found your channel while doing some background work getting ready. Thanks for your efforts.

[@PunmasterSTP]

A brief introduction to minerals? More like "A better way to instruct us so we can learn it all!" Thanks for creating this very informative series and I fully intend to watch until the end.

[@brown-wizard]

Great explanation. In my mineralogy class we're taught that substances don't need to be solid in order for them to be considered minerals. Mercury is liquid at a certain temperature but lower that temperature and the mercury becomes solid. Same for water which some consider a mineral and others don't.

[@10minuteteamtips]

Hey Michael, I teach 6th graders and needed something to introduce minerals today. Found your video and used it in class. It was super helpful. Thanks for sharing it freely with the rest of us. Bill

You’ve done an awesome job with these Earth Science videos. Been pausing to review some of the topics me and my son have gone over before his next exam and found your videos. They cover everything and your presentation is refreshing. Thanks and keep it up! It’s been great practice to go over a chapter, watch your videos on the topics and have him do a short writing assignment to incorporate the lesson for review!

[@PunmasterSTP]

That's awesome, and I hope your son's exam went well!

I still can't believe that I had to sit in a room for 6hrs just to understand this topic however the answer was right under my nose...... Thanks a looooot💯
