What is the problem?. 1) Rocks cannot be made of organic material. 2) Luster is classified as metallic and non-metallic. 3) Scientist use tests to identify minerals. 4) Minerals that make up rocks can be mined as ores. 5) A liquid or gas can be classified as a mineral. All rocks are made up of 2 or more of these minerals. . Minerals are not rocks!. Silicon and oxygen are the most abundant elements in the crust and in minerals. Oxygen is the most abundant element in minerals. Our estimates of pressures and temperatures experienced by rocks during metamorphism are based on metamorphic reactions.. Mineral Reactions. There are two basic types of mineral reactions:. Continuous.
