Explain what makes one mineral so precious or costly compared to another.

There are multiple factors that contribute to the cost of a mineral. First of all is the demand or application, which will be related to its physical properties. For example, nontarnishing metals like gold are held in high value for their appearance. Second is the supply of the mineral, those that only have a small quantity in the earth's crust are likely to be more expensive. Third is the cost of extraction and manufacturing. Some minerals may be abundantly found, but may be distributed over a wide area, meaning that it is still expensive to mine and transport.

In meteorology, a  cloud  is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body. nephology is the science of  clouds, which is undertaken in the  cloud  physics branch of meteorology.cirrus clouds  usually describe clouds high in the atmosphere that can include wispy clouds, typically with ice crystals. variations include cirrus, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus as defined by the cloud's position in the atmosphere.layered stratus clouds  have both flat tops and bases, and can appear as if they take up the whole sky, stretching from horizon to horizon. other combinations and variations include stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus and altostratus.cumulus clouds  often pile up in multiple layers of the atmosphere, representing clouds that develop vertically. cumulus clouds often look like pillars with anvil-type tops or columns of clouds stacked vertically. variations include cumulus, cumulus-congestus, cumulonimbus and altocumulus.
