Earthy, shiny, waxy, metallic, and pearly are terms used to describe the luster or visual quality of minerals and gemstones. These descriptors indicate how light interacts with the surface of a material, influencing its appearance. For instance, a metallic luster reflects light like metal, while a pearly luster resembles the sheen of a pearl. Each term helps classify minerals based on their visual characteristics, aiding in identification and understanding of their properties.
