I live in the Mojave desert and have a huge collection of rocks I know nothing about. So many of the hippies around here seem to think my collection is vibrant and spiritual but I just think they need to calm down with the hallucinogens and just realize they just look pretty. I’m glad you’re doing this series so I can actually know what I’m looking at.

pretty looking things always have to have a deeper meaning to some people and make their own placebo, but i also just collect rocks because they're pretty. Used to collect tens of glassy sand "lava rocks" that I found on a red sand running field.

@@チヱ Here's one answer I found on quora: "What bond is stronger, covalent or ionic?" "There is no general answer to your question. Some ionic bonds are stronger and some covalent bonds are stronger. • lonic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds in vacuum (vacuum is a space in which there is no matter including air). • In biological conditions (e.g. : living cells) which are often aqueous (involves water) covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds. Why? because water dissociate ionic compounds (e.g.: dissociation of salt in water)."
@marknieuweboer8099

Interestingly I found sources that contradict each other. I'll give you my first impression; right now I don't have the time to check carefully. It seems to matter if we're talking molecules or the atoms a single molecule consists of. Groups of molecules with ionic bonds are stronger, in the sense that more force is needed to tear them apart. But it takes more force to pull a molecule with a covalent bond apart than to do it with a molecule with atoms apart. The atoms of table salt will roam freely in water when you put them into that. The atoms of oxygen won't. So I change my previous answer: it depends on your criterium. Thanks, I like this.

Uh, steps 3 and 4 of the criteria for mineral status are totally meaningless. Excluding energy or subatomic particles, anything we're in contact with is composed of elements or compounds and can be characterized by a chemical formula. That is akin to saying anything in chemistry is a chemical. Anyone in disagreement, please show me something on Earth (again, excluding energy or subatomic particles) that does not fit those two criteria.

No, not everything can be characterized by a chemical formula. We are talking about a repeating formula unit. Things that aren't crystalline don't have that.
