Ite is a common ending of many minerals, especially those that are named after their dis- discoverers, like Jamesonite, etc. Oxides 10. OXYGEN (O) is a gaseous element, so abundant that it constitutes about one-fifth of the atmosphere, eight- ninths of water by weight and nearly half of the Earth's solid crust. Oxygen forms compounds with all other ele- ments except Fluorine and enters into the composition of most all minerals in the Oxide Zone. The union of Oxygen with another element produces... Oxides, which form an important group of minerals. When 98 PRACTICAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY certain elements as sulphur (S), Carbon (C), Phosphorus (P), and Iron (Fe), are brought into contract with Oxygen at suitable temperatures, they burn evolving heat and produce oxides of these substances. Oxygen is intensely active and unites with other elements in different proportions owing to the conditions present. The principal group of minerals thus formed are called Oxides ; the sub-groups of minerals ending in ate are called Oxygen Salts.
