Yes. Its Mohs hardness is in the range of 5, and minerals (or metals, as is the case here) will streak up to a hardness of about 7. For a quick review of what streak is and how it originated, use the link to the Wikipedia article.
The streak of mineral colbalt is blue.
Color is the observable color of a mineral specimen in natural light. Streak is the color of a mineral when powdered. The color of a specific mineral specimen may be different than its streak color. Because many impurities can alter the color of a mineral, but not the streak, streak is a more accurate predictor in mineral identification.
The streak of a mineral can distinguish between two samples that have the same color. The streak is often a different color. To test streak, use a streak plate. This is a piece of unglazed porcelain, like the back side of a tile.
Color is what you observe when you look at a mineral. Streak is the color of the mineral when in a fine powder form. This can be observed by drawing a sample of the mineral over an unglazed porcelain tile and noting the color of the line left on the tile.
The streak is the mineral in a powdered form from abrasion with the hard, slightly textured surface of an unglazed porcelain streak plate. The streak color may differ from the color observed in a specimen. Coloration of mineral specimens is sometimes due to impurities. In a powdered form, the impurities are not abundant enough to cause coloration in the streak, thus revealing the true color of the mineral. == ==
it can be white or gray but the word is STREAK
The streak of the mineral is the mineral's powder color
Color is the observable color of a mineral specimen in natural light. Streak is the color of a mineral when powdered. The color of a specific mineral specimen may be different than its streak color. Because many impurities can alter the color of a mineral, but not the streak, streak is a more accurate predictor in mineral identification.
The color of a mineral in powdered form is called the mineral's Streak
Streak is the color of a crushed mineral's powder. The color of a mineral's powder may differ from the actual color of the mineral. This property can be useful for mineral identification.Almost every mineral has an inherent streak color, no matter what color the actual mineral is.
there is no name for the color, but there is the "streak" of a mineral, meaning the color of its streak.
The streak color will vary depending on the type of pyroxene mineral.
The color of the powdered form of a mineral is called
The lack of a streak would indicate that the mineral is harder than the streak plate, or the color of the streak is the same as the color of the streak plate.
