A mineral which belongs to such a solid solution has no single fixed chemical composition. Rather, its composition is a proportion of the two or more limiting compositions called end members. Such minerals are commonly named for the end members they most nearly resemble in composition.

Subclasses of Sedimentary Rocks: 1. Clastic: form from bits and pieces of other rocks 2. Chemical: consist of minerals deposited from a solution 3. Organic: consist of organic matter such as plants and animal remains Organically-formed sedimentary rocks form from the remains of plants and animals (fossil limestone, coal) Sedimentary Rocks.

Minerals are classified on the basis of their chemical composition, which is expressed in their physical properties. This module, the second in a series on minerals, describes the physical properties that are commonly used to identify minerals. These include color, crystal form, hardness, density, luster, and cleavage.

Hydrous Minerals. Minerals containing water in their structure are known as hydrous minerals. The hydrous mineral Gypsum has a chemical formula of "CaSO 4 2H 2 O". The large number 2 in front of the H 2 O signifies that there are two water (H 2 O) molecules for every molecule of CaSO 4.The dot in between CaSO 4 and 2H 2 O indicates that these are two separate
