Mineral samples can be scraped across the bottom (i.e., the unglazed side) of a tile to create a colour streak which is characteristic of the mineral. Note that it takes more than a colour streak to identify a mineral. Many minerals have the same colour streak. Other characteristics such as the hardness and density will also need to be determined in order to positively identify a mineral.
