2. Identify the mineral inside of the bigger mineral.
3. What is the name for these two minerals formed together?

Re: Rocks & Minerals B/C
Two different examples of the same thing
Questions:
1. What general mineral name would be given to these specimens? (i.e. if it is rose quartz then say quartz)
2. What is the name given to this special formation?
3. How might these specimens have formed?
4. Which property causes these formations? (there are multiple answers to this)
