Gypsum and Flurite are both shiny and white and they both have white streaks and cleave and shows no reaction to acid. The gravity of the mineral is 3.18 g which is much higher than gypsum. So it should be flourite. | Mineral 1: Pyrite | 100% certain | I am 100% sure it would be Pyrite because it does meet all the qualification of Talc. | Mineral 2: Talc | 100% certain | I am 100% sure that this would be Talc because o the qualification of Talc. | Mineral 3: Calcite | 73% certain | I am about 73% suree it this is Calcite. However this does show similarities with Gypsum, Quartz, Borax. | Mineral 4: Orthoclase Feldspar | 96% certain | I’m 96% sure this is Orthoclase Feldspar because of the qualification it meets for Orthoclase Feldspar.
