Minerals are classified by chemical formula, composition, physical properties, optical properties, and special properties. The Dana Classification System is a chemical classification for minerals, and the Strunz Classification System (chemical-structural) are two systems designed for mineral classification.
Scientists classify minerals by their chemical formula, their physical and optical properties, and by their special properties. Minerals are also classified by composition or hardness.
1. inorganic
2. naturally occurring
3. crystalline structure
4. definite chemical composition
5. solid
In general, minerals can form in two ways: through the crystallization of melted materials, and through the crystallization of materials dissolved in water.
name 2 ways mnerals can be classified put into groups
Crystals are easy to classify because the minerals that they contain are easily identified. One example of this would be emeralds. Another example of a crystal is a diamond.
They are divided into puddingstone and somipone. Puddingstone is made of tiny minerals but somipone is made up of HUGE minerals.
The two kingdoms that are used to classify bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria.
Luster and composition are two characteristics used to classify minerals.
Color, lustre, hardness, streak
There are several thousands of minerals, and many different ways to classify them. An easy way to separate them into two types is to call them either metallic or non-metallic.

There are four ways to classify a mineral:They have a crystal structureThey are formed in natureThey have a definite chemical makeupThey are a solid
