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.
Can you use crystals you identify minerals?
Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
