Differences Metallic and Non-metallic Minerals
The difference between metallic and non-metallic minerals can be drawn clearly on the following grounds:
Metallic Minerals can be understood as the minerals in which metals are present in their original form. Conversely, non-metallic minerals, are those minerals which do not have metal content in them.
Igneous and metamorphic rocks formations contain metallic minerals. On the contrary, non-metallic minerals can be found in sedimentary rocks and young fold mountains.
On the melting of metallic minerals, a new product is obtained, whereas no new product is obtained from non-metallic minerals when they are melted.
Metallic minerals are a good at conducting heat and electricity, such as copper. Unlike, non-metallic minerals, which insulates heat and electricity, such as mica.
Metallic minerals do not break down into pieces when constantly hammered, as well as they have the ability to be drawn into thin wires. As against this, non-metallic minerals, usually break down into pieces, on hammering, and they cannot be drawn into wires or sheets.
Metallic minerals are lustrous, i.e. they have their own shine, while non-metallic minerals are non-lustrous
