I only know one of the properties and that is the mineral's color.
Color is not always a good way to identify minerals because some minerals change colors at certain temperatures. Some minerals have several colors and some are found in varied colors.
Minerals are classified by chemical formula, composition, physical properties, optical properties, and special properties. The Dana Classification System is a chemical classification for minerals, and the Strunz Classification System (chemical-structural) are two systems designed for mineral classification.
1.Color 2.Streak 3.Luster 4.Fluorescence 5.Chemical 6.Composition 7.Hardness 8.density 9.fracture 10.cleavage 11.crystal form
1. COLOR 2. HARDNESS. 3. LUSTER. 4. CLEAVAGE. 5. STREAK.
There are lots. Here are five: density, melting point, boiling point, freezing point, atomic mass
You can observe physical, chemical, and characteristic properties of a substance and can be used to determine the usefulness of a substance by, giving us information about the substance usually using our 5 senses which are physical properties. Or being able to describe the substances ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances, chemical property. Or even just being able to identify whether or not the substance is pure or not can help us determine if the substance is hazardous or not. two other properties I did not mention were the qualitative and the quantitative properties.
A physical property is a characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Using the 5 senses.
the 5 properties are cleavage hardness luster color streak
Thermal properties, 3. Wafer Flats. 4. Electrical properties, 4. Cleaving. - Resistivity & Mobility Calculator, 5. Silicon etching. 5. Mechanical properties
ALL minerals are mined from the earth.
