there are a few basic tests to identify a material. hardness, color, lustor, crystal form, cleavage, and streak. I believe this is all of them, but it has been several years. They are classified by the same tests that identify them. For example, diamond is classified as a 10 hardness material (the only 10 hardness material) Glass is 7 hardness.
