Obviously lead minerals - in
Sat, 01/12/2013 - 00:07Obviously lead minerals - in particular galena. I suppose next would come copper minerals (malachite and azurite etc.) and then tin (mixed with copper will give bronze) and the iron minerals (hematite, siderite etc.) need extreme heat.
This really follows Mans progress, and originally it was probably unintentional. Just rocks round a camp fire which got hot enough for the ore to melt.

What minerals have low melting points?
Submitted by HarryTrimble on Wed, 01/09/2013 - 15:18.Hello,
I a product designer putting together a proposal for a Royal Geological Society. For the proposal I need to research some minerals with low melting points.
Does any one know any?
Many thanks,
Harry
