Common mineral properties include:Breakage- whether the mineral cleaves in predictable patterns or fractures in random patternsColor- some minerals have characteristic colors, while others may come in a variety of colors. Color of minerals is largely due to environmental factors during formation (temperature, radiation, pollution)Hardness- the mineral's ability to resist being scratched, measured by Mohs hardness scale.Luster- how light is reflected off the mineral, is either metallic or nonmetalic. Nonmetallic is broken into 3 subcategories: earthy, glassy, or pearlyCrystal form- the way in which the crystals pattern themselves. There are six major patterns: cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, monoclinal, triclinal, and orthorhombic.Streak- the color of the powder left behind when a mineral is rubbed over a rough surface (streak plate), reveals the "true" color of the mineralOther Properties:Specific Gravity, magnetism, smell, taste, reaction to acid
