What is the most essential requirement for minerals to crystallize?
color of the mineral.
pressure building up as the rocks get pushed back deep into the earth's surface.
cleavage
magma coming up to the earth's surface through volcanoes and/or cracks in the ocean floor.
the weathering of igneous rocks over a significant period of time.
hardness
Minerals will only crystallize if there is no interference from other minerals.
specific gravity
The heaviness of a mineral is described as its':
color of the mineral.
pressure building up as the rocks get pushed back deep into the earth's surface.
cleavage
