This stone is wonderful for quick uplift from the feeling of low energy and causes an increase in vitality. This is how it got its nickname, “Tonic Stone”.
What is the difference between mineral, Ore and rock? Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a crystalline structure and a definite range of chemical formula. Ores are concentrations of minerals in rock that are high enough to be economically extracted for use.
Ore is a mineral which contains enough amount of certain metals which can be profitably extracted from it. All Ores are mineral but all minerals are not ore. Ore is for industrial purposes. An Ore is a type of rock that contains sufficient minerals with important elements including metals that can be economically extracted from the rock. The Ores are extracted from the earth through mining; they are then refined (often via smelting) to extract the valuable element, or elements.
The grade or concentration of an Ore mineral, or metal, as well as its form of occurrence, will directly affect the costs associated with mining the Ore. The cost of extraction must thus be weighed against the metal value contained in the rock to determine what Ore can be processed and what Ore is of too low a grade to be worth mining. Metal ores are generally oxides, sulfides, silicates, or “native” metals (such as native copper) that are not commonly concentrated in the Earth’s crust, or “noble” metals (not usually forming compounds) such as gold. The Ores must be processed to extract the metals of interest from the waste rock and from the Ore minerals. Ore bodies are formed by a variety of geological processes. The process of Ore formation is called ore genesis.
