1 answer:

3 0

Ferromagnesian minerals are minerals that have iron or magnesium in their structure. The greater specific gravity is between 3.2 and 3.6. Some examples are pyroxene, biotite, garnet, and olvine.

Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Common mafic rocks include basalt, diabase and gabbro. Mafic rocks often also contain calcium-rich varieties of plagioclase feldspar.

Difference between unit cell and primitive cell

Alex

Primitive unit cells contain only one lattice point, which is made up from the lattice points at each of the corners. Non-primitive unit cells contain additional lattice points, either on a face of the unit cell or within the unit cell, and so have more than one lattice point per unit cell
