Cement slabs are made by combining various minerals such as tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate and tetracalcium aluminoferrite. Each of these have their own properties that make them best suited for making cement slab. One diagnostic characteristic of a mineral used to make a cement slab is the formation of crystal structure.
