There are four ways to classify a mineral:
No some like brass are not classified as minerals.
What are some ways the stars in the photo could be grouped or classified
they classified slaves by separating them they classified slaves by separating them
Minerals are classified based on their chemical composition and crystal structure. Chemical composition refers to the elements that make up the mineral, while crystal structure refers to the arrangement of atoms in the mineral's crystal lattice.
They are less common then other elements
Minerals are classified as oxides, sulfides, halides, sulfates, silicates, or carbonates. Some elements are also classified as minerals. There's also a metallic and non-metallic mineral classification.
A rock is an agglomeration of different minerals. Minerals are classified into categories based on their chemistry: oxides, sulphides, silicates, carbonates etc. Rocks are classified primarily by the process that formed them: igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.

Non-silicate minerals do not contain the SiO4 ion. Non-silicate minerals are classified as oxides, sulfides, sulfates, halides, or carbonates. Some elements are also classified as minerals. There's also a metallic and non-metallic mineral classification. See the link below for examples.
they are classified as crystalline.
some other way the scientist can compare minerals is crashing each other or take some elements and them revise it.
Someone said, "No. Most minerals have a variety of different colors." but that isn't true. Minerals and rocks can be classified by color, streak, luster, cleavage, hardness, and specific gravity. Hope this helps! By: Fizzycandy10
