Can you use crystals you identify minerals?
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
How do you identify minerals I Me My We Our?
Minerals have certain properties, or characteristics, that help to identify them. Minerals can be identified by their color, luster, streak, cleavage, hardness, specific gravity, and even by their chemical composition.
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 the six properties of gases?
There are only five properties of gases. These five properties of gases are odor, color, solubility, structure, and chemical reactivity.
What are three visible properties of minerals?
Mineral,streak, and luster
What properties are not used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)

Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
What properties are not commonly used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)
Can rocks be minerals?
No they are not the same thing because rocks are made up of minerals and minerals have specific chemical and physical properties unlike rocks!
Why might it be helpful to know the specific gravity of a mineral?
If we know the physical or chemical properties of substances (including minerals) we can identify these minerals easier.

Which properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
The crystallographic axes of minerals are expressed as numbers. As such these numbers can also be used to describe the orientation of mineral cleavage planes. The Mohs hardness, specific gravity, and melting point of minerals are also properties that can be expressed numerically.
Does each mineral has its ownspecific properties?
Yes because it has specific properties. It go through a five category test.
What is the specific gravity luster transparency streak cleavage and fracture of barium?
These are all properties of minerals, and barium is an element which does not occur in a pure (native) form in the earth. Different minerals with barium as a constituent have various different properties.
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
What are the differences between metallic and non-metallic minerals?
Metallic minerals have a significant metallic elemental composition, resulting in a set of physical properties that are specific to them such as conductivity and metallic luster. Non-metallic minerals do not possess significant elemental metallic composition of exhibit those physical properties.
