A streak test is used to determine a minerals streak color. This can help in with the identification of minerals. A streak test is performed by rubbing the mineral on an unglazed ceraminc tile, then observing the color of the streak which is left behind. All minerals do not leave streaks. Harder minerals will not streak, but this can also be used as a tool for identifying the mineral, if you are familiar with the hardness scale.
To my understanding, minerals don't need chelates, we need chelated forms of minerals to better be able to use them. Chelated minerals are a special form of minerals that are found in living things. If the minerals aren't chelated, living things are unable to utilize them.
