Formation from Solutions. Minerals also form when minerals are mixed in water. Most water on Earth, like the water in the oceans, contains minerals. The minerals are mixed evenly throughout the water to make a solution. The mineral particles in water are so small that they will not come out when you filter the water.

Mineral formation can occur over a relative short time span. For example, Seitaj et al. (2015) showed that over the course of a few weeks to months about 1 mol of FeS per m 2 is converted to FeOOH under the influence of cable bacteria. The exact mineralogy of these newly reprecipitated iron and carbonate phases is presently not known.

Minerals can form in two different ways. First is the crystallization of magma and lava. Crystallization occurs when minerals that form as hot magma cool inside the crust or as lava hardens on the surface. When these liquids cool to a solid state, they form crystals. Minerals can also develop when the crystallization of materials dissolves in ...
