What characteristiscs do minerals have to have to be a mineral?
Minerals have to have these five characteristics. The five characteristics are solid, crystal structure, chemical composition, made by nature, and inorganic.Those are five characteristics a mineral are required to have to be a mineral.
What is the crystal structure of tungsten?
Tungsten's crystal structure is cubic.
Is color the best physical characteristic for mineral identification?
Specimen color is the least reliable method of mineral identification. Better characteristics are streak, density, and crystal structure.

What are basis in a crystal structure of solid?
One of the basis in a crystal structure is classification of solids; classification on the basis of the symmetry of crystal structures (geometrical properties) and physical features of them. In symmetric, we describe shape and arrangement crystals (s.c, b.c.c, f.c.c, h.c.p ,etc.) and in physical classification, decribe physical properties (The scheme is based on the configuration of the valance electrons. for example covalent crystal, ion crystal, metallic crystal and etc.)
