Minerals can be identified by such as their color, streak, luster, and their hardness. What does streak, and luster mean?

Streak-- Is the color of a mineral's powder for example: talc is a mineral and it is also powder and its streak is white.

Luster-- Is the way a mineral reflects light from it's surface for example: glassy, pearly, silky, metallic and earthy can be words to describe luster.
