The electrical properties of a material include the primary properties of conductivity and dielectric constant, and many secondary properties such as the coefficients which determine the rate of change of the primary properties with such parameters as frequency, temperature. The fact that many rocks and minerals are not characterized by a specific value for the various electrical properties even under standard conditions makes it difficult to tabulate a meaningful set of numbers for these properties. The source of induced polarization lies in chemical reactions which must take place when electrical current flows between an electrolytic solution in the pore spaces of a rock and an electronically semiconducting sulfide mineral blocking these pores. Conduction in semiconductors is by movement of electrons through the material, but the conductivity is much lower than that observed in true metals. Native metals occur infrequently in nature, but such occurrences can be of considerable economic importance.
