The presence of calcium and magnesium salts in the form of hydrogencarbonate, chloride and sulphate in water makes water 'hard'. Hard water does not give lather with soap. Whereas, water free from souluble salts of calcium and magnesium is called soft water. It gives lather with soap. And also hard water forms scum(precipitate) with soap, therefore unsutable for laundry but soft water does not form scum.

Shale normally leaves a brown streak on unglazed porcelain plates. However, shale can also leave a white streak on unglazed porcelain plates.

Rubbing the mineral against an unglazed ceramic tile, called a streak plate, leaves a streak of the powdered mineral. This powder reflects the true color of the mineral. It's called a streak test, and the resultant line of color is called the streak. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.

The test is called a streak test and it leaves a powdered form of the mineral on the porcelain. The powdered mineral reveals the true color, of the mineral specimen, which may or may not match the color of the specimen.
Streak is a method used to help identify minerals. A mineral can have very similar characteristics such as luster, colour, hardness, specific gravity ect, but even minerals with very similar characteristics including colour can have different streaks...which is the 'colour' the mineral makes on a scratch plate when drawn accross it in a stroke..thus creating the streak.
The colour of the streak left by a mineral is one of the features used to identify it. For instance, haematite leaves a red streak, malachite leaves a light green streak, while quartz, calcite and gypsum all leave a white streak.
Topaz will leave a streak, it is just that the streak is white and will therefore not be apparent against the white background of the standard streak plate.ALSOTopaz is harder than unglazed porcelain (the streak plate), and therefore normally leaves a scratch rather than a streak.
