Observable properties are: color and streak, luster, cleavage and fracture (crystalline structure), and hardness.
They have to identify their properties. That is how they identfiy the minerals. just kiddinq i dont know how can anyone help me!
color
Scientist identify minerals by Their Special properties. An example of a special propertie is a Chemical Reaction .
yes it is
Color
yes it is
I think its Specific Gravity :)
x-rays
Streak hardness and shine
The stripe, and color
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.
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
