Small amounts of different elements in the same mineral can change the what of the mineral?
colour, density and hardness.
Why is the color of a mineral not a reliable test of the identity of the mineral?
Because many different minerals may look the same, Like quartz and diamond, they are the same color, clear, but are very different minerals.

Why different types of rock can contain the same minerals?
There are many rocks that share the same mineral constitution with another rock. An example would be rhyolite and granite. Mineralogically they can be equal in composition (even derived from the same magma), yet very different in texture, appearance and method of formation.
Can the same mineral form a igneous rock?
yes because it is made of all different minerals
Is the cleavage for a mineral always the same for that mineral?
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.
Is the cleavage for a mineral is always the same for that mineral?
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.
Why is the color or a mineral not a reliabe physical characteristic?
The same mineral can come in a variety of colors and different minerals can be the same color.
Can same mineral have different internal structure?
yes

Which property will not always match a mineral's visible color?
The 'streak', or powdered mineral, will not always match the specimen's observed color.
Why are rocks not the same?
Because different rocks are formed by different processes and made up of different mineral assemblages.
Will the same amount of solution appear to be the same or different when placed in different types of glassware?
If you start out with a solution and you put the same amount of solution in different types of glassware, it will always be the same no matter what.
