  • Feldspar vs. Quartz vs. Mica vs. Calcite: Earth's Most Abundant Minerals
    The most abundant mineral out of those listed is feldspar.

    Here's a quick breakdown of their relative abundance:

    * Feldspar: Makes up about 60% of the Earth's crust, making it the most common mineral.

    * Quartz: The second most common mineral, making up around 12% of the Earth's crust.

    * Mica: A group of minerals that are relatively common but not as abundant as feldspar or quartz.

    * Calcite: A common mineral, particularly in sedimentary rocks, but less abundant than feldspar or quartz.
