Scratch test Gold is a very soft element, so scratching it will leave marks. Use a knife to try and scratch the surface of your rock. If it's gold, you'll see scratches. Pyrite will be too hard to be affected, and mica will flake off when scratched. If you don't have a knife handy, scratch gold with a piece of copper (like a penny).

In order to further classify schist, you list identifiable minerals in increasing abundance before the word 'schist'. So, a schist with 10% garnet, 20% quartz, and 70% mica would be called a 'garnet-quartz-mica schist.' It is also common for geologists to describe a schist based on its protolith (the original rock from which it formed).

If the acid drop effervesces or fizzes on the surface of the rock, the specimen is calcite. If it does not, the specimen is scratched to produce a small amount of powder and test with acid again. If the acid drop fizzes slowly on the powdered mineral, the specimen is dolomite. The difference between these two minerals can be seen in the video.

This presents a similar issue as mica. There will be a sheen to the texture of the rock which may give phyllite the appearance of being schist. The best way to be able to distinguish between the two when mica or quartz are present is by seeing how breakable it is in your hands. If you require a tool to flake off the minerals, it's likely ...
