7. Weathering Resistance of Minerals Different minerals weather at different rates. Some minerals are highly resistant, while others weather very quickly. The order of resistance is explained by Goldich's Weathering Series. The sequence is: Muscovite → Quartz → Hornblende → Feldspar → Calcite → Olivine → Gypsum Minerals at the end of the sequence weather faster, while minerals at the beginning are more resistant. For example: Quartz is very stable and often remains even after intense wea
