Here is a short list of some 'special' mineral properties:
There are many more, of course.
melting point
boiling point
density
color
luster
streak
cleavage
hardness
color
odor
radioactivity
magnetism
fluorecense
taste
odor
electric potentional
color/glow
Scientist identify minerals by Their Special properties. An example of a special propertie is a Chemical Reaction .
yes it is part of identifying minerals. some are also color, streak, luster, density, hardness, etc. hope this helped!
In a hand sample/specimen you can the properties used to identify minerals are luster, diaphaneity, color, streak, luminescence, play of colors, crystal shape, tenacity, cleavage, hardness, specific gravity and density, magnetism, electrical properties, reaction to acid.
Talc is one of the softest minerals with a hardness of 1. Talc is also crushed into a powder called talcum powder which is used a fertilizer.
By the mineral color, streak color, luster, hardness, the property of the mineral, if it's fracture or cleavage and it's specific gravity. Those are just basic, so there's many other ways to ID a mineral.

They are the properties that are unique to certain minerals such as flourescence or radioactivity

Special properties are unusual properties a mineral may have that most minerals don't.
buttts
Those would be properties like magnetism, fluorescence, triboluminescence.
Their crystalline structure and physical properties are special.

taste
Well, some minerals can be identified by special properties. It's practically just the kind of property a mineral has. Florescence or megnetism is an example of special properties. Hope this helped.
There are a number of properties which are considered to be a special property that applies to only a few minerals. Some of them include magnetism, optical and florescence properties.
