What are four properties of some minerals?
melting point boiling point density color
What is the most common form of minerals?
Minerals form into crystals or clusters of crystals. In the crust, the most common individual mineral is quartz, and the most common class of minerals are the silicate minerals.
What are two ways to classify minerals?
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.
What are three visible properties of minerals?
Mineral,streak, and luster
Can you use crystals you identify minerals?
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
What are the four properties of minerals?
hardness streak and luster and color
What are three properties that all minerals have in common?
they are natural, inorganic, and crystalline solids
What are four properties of some minerals?

What ae the two physical properties of minerals?
what are two physical properties about minerals
What are the special properties minerals?
They are the properties that are unique to certain minerals such as flourescence or radioactivity
Why cant you rely on any single test or property when you are trying to identify a mineral?
Different minerals can share many, but not all, mineral characteristics. Characteristics would include hardness, streak color, crystal shape, reactions to acids, flame tests, density, and others.
What properties of minerals do scientist use to identify minerals?
They have to identify their properties. That is how they identfiy the minerals. just kiddinq i dont know how can anyone help me!
What properties distinguishes minerals from other substances?
Minerals crystal habit, cleavage, hardness, color and luster are the properties that distinguish minerals from other substances.
What are properties that identified minerals are?
taste, flouresent light, radiation detection, streek, and something elseI only can come up with four :( :( :( :(
What properties of minerals are considered special properties that apply to only a few minerals?
Those would be properties like magnetism, fluorescence, triboluminescence.
What are the properties of special properties?
Special properties are unusual properties a mineral may have that most minerals don't.
What are common minerals?
common minerals are not rare minerals eg:not rare
