It lacks the crystalline electron structure that elements like magnesium and iron have. Thus, it cannot align into electrical dipoles, and is not magnetic.

Peridot (pronounced "pear-uh-dot" or "pear-uh-doe", IPA: /pɛɹɪdɑːt/ or Fr. /peʁido/) is the gem quality variety of forsteritic olivine. The chemical composition of peridot is (Mg, Fe)2SiO4, with Mg in greater quantities than Fe. The name of the gemstone is believed to come from either the Arabic word faridat meaning "gem" or the French word peritot meaning "unclear." Peridot is one of the few gemstones that comes in only one color. The depth of green depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, and varies from yellow-green to olive to brownish green. Peridot is also often referred to as "poor man's emerald". Olivine is a very abundant mineral, but gem-quality peridot is rather rare. Peridot crystals have been collected from iron-nickel meteorites.

Question 1:\n\nPegmatites are rocks containing valuable mineral deposits such as quartz, feldspar, & mica. Gemstones are often associated w/ pegmatite deposits.\n\nQuartz is an important mineral in making glass & semiconductors/microchips as well as gemstones.\n\nFeldspar is used industrially in the glass-making process, in ceramics, & as gemstones (moonstone, etc.).\n\nMica is used in everything from paints to makeup. Anything w/ a sparkle. In the old days before glass became affordable, people used sheets of mica as windows on homes & in the doors of furnaces.\n\nThe link below gives a little insight into pegmatites & some history of mining in the United States.\n\nQuestion 2:\n\nHigher water content lowers the viscosity of magma (makes it less thick). This is b/c it disrupts the bonds between silicon & oxygen in the magma.

http://www.pubs.asce.org/WWWdisplay.cgi?9605225\nSaprolite is a rare find in our area.  We've found it in a few parking lots, and we can buy it from only a few dealers.\n\nSaprolite is also called "rotten granite" -- it really is granite that's been partially changed by thousands or millions of years of weathering. \n\nhttp://saltthesandbox.org/rocks/saprolite.htm\n\nProperties\n1.Saprolite forms when granite and other igneous and \nmetamorphic rocks are exposed to humid climates for \nthousands or millions of years. \n2.Saprolite is mostly reddish in color.\n3.Its crystals are usually pea-sized or smaller\n4.it started out as granite\n5.Is made mostly of the minerals feldspar and quartz, and may also contain small crystals of mica or darker minerals.

well, do you have access to a stone saw?  Look for crystalline structure inside of the object.  Also determine it's specific gravity, and you can look it up on the jpl web site.  First though is it metal, magnetic? Or a rock.

Maghemite is a ferromagnetic iron oxide crystal that has many applications in the magnetic recording media. It is an important magnetic oxide used to coat cassettes and floppy disks. Nanophase maghemite, often found in the corrosion coatings of atmospherically exposed structural steels, has particle size of the order of 10-20 nm and exhibit superparamagnetic behavior. In order to characterize the superparamagnetic behavior of maghemite, and to estimate the anisotropy constant as a function of particle volume, synthetic nano-crystals of Maghemite of different particle sizes were produced. The crystals were precipitated from an aqueous solution of FeCl3-FeCl2 by varying the pH level of the solution under a controlled oxidization rate. Mösssbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and IR spectroscopy were utilized to examine the crystals size, structure, and magnetic properties of nanophase maghemite. Both x-ray diffraction and room temperature Mössbauer measurements indicated the poor crystallinity of the samples. The mean hyperfine field measured at room temperature decreased as the crystallite size was reduced. Detailed spectroscopic results on the magnetic and crystalline properties of nanophase maghemite will be presented.

Mafic lava is very hot and flows easily it contains less silica and are enriched in iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca) and just encase your trying to get a homework answer I will leave it at that if not you will know what I mean ;)

The name originates from the Greek word for a district in Thessaly called Magnesia. Joseph Black in England recognized magnesium as being an element in 1755, Sir Humphry Davy electrolytically isolated pure magnesium metal in 1808 from a mix of magnesia and HgO, and A. A. B. Bussy prepared it in coherent form in 1831. Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the earth's crust. It is an alkaline earth metal and therefore does not occur uncombined with other elements. It is found in large deposits of magnesite, dolomite, and other minerals.
