👉 A nodiferous mineral is a type of mineral that has a network of interconnected, irregularly shaped pores or cavities. These pores are often found in minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and beryl. The term "nodiferous" comes from the Latin word "nodus," which means "determined." In this context, nodiferous refers to a mineral that has been determined by its structure rather than its chemical composition or other physical properties.
