Two distinguishing characteristics of a mineral are its crystalline structure and its hardness. Other field tests would include a streak test and possibly a test of specific gravity. Color can also be of some use.

How can tell if a mineral is soft?
To my understanding, there is a rock/mineral hardness scale from 1-10. 1 being chalk and 10 being a diamond. To figure out if a rock/mineral is soft, they do a scratch test and which ever one looses bits and pieces is the softer of the two and visa versa. You repeat this step to see where it falls in the hardness scale.
