The difference between the iron in magnetite and hematite is the charge. Hematite has all 3+ iron ( the iron when make the mineral loses 3 electrons) and magnetite has some 2+ iron (it only loses 2 electrons).

How would you use crystal structure to tell a crystal of pyrite from a crystal of gypsum?
A pyrite is a cubic solid and a gypsum is a monoclinic solid.

Well, there really isn't a term for that. Though you CAN tell the difference between a lot of smells, you can't really tell much difference between the two unless you have some familiarity with them.

it is simple it is streak not mass
How do you tell the difference between gold the metal and pyrite also known as fool's gold?
To tell the difference between pyrite and real gold, you can check the color and shape of the ore. Gold and pyrite have a yellowish color but pyrite has a pale and brassy color compared to gold. Pyrites are shaped more like crystals while gold tends to form as a nugget. Another difference between the two is that gold can be scratched with a pocketknife while pyrite cannot be scratched. You also can use the malleability and odor tests.
What do you use to tell gold from pyrite?
The hardness of it. Gold is harder than pyrite.

What mineral property can be used to distinguish between pyrite and chalco pyrite?
Pyrite also known as "fool's gold" is a mineral that has both a different chemical, morphological and physical characteristics than gold. Gold is denser (i.e. the same size of gold is much heavier than the that of pyrite). Gold's average density is 17.64 g/cm3 while Pyrite's density is on average 5.01 g/cm3. The chemical formulas are different. Gold's chemical formula is "Au" while Pyrite's is and iron sulfate mineral with a formula of "FeS2". The color is also different, gold appears the color of gold while pyrite is more bronze in color. The crystallographic form of the minerals also vary. Gold is a very soft mineral while Pyrite is much harder (gold has a hardness of 2.5 while Pyrite is 6.5). To distinguish between a sample of each, you could scratch the surface of gold using your fingernail which you would not be able to do with pyrite. You can try to scratch it because pyrite or fools gold much harder then gold so if it doesn't scratch that much it is most likely pyrite or fools gold. You can tell them apart by looking at their reflection and streak. Also, gold is much more dense than pyrite, so the same volume would 'weigh' about 3.5 times more. Gold has a hardness of about 2.5, while pyrite is about 6 (Gold is softer and more malable). Streak is used to distinguish between Gold and Pyrite.
