What else can I help you with?
What are the seven basic physical properties of minerals?
.A Ruby.A Gold Nugget.Coal.Brass.Obsidian.Basalt.Fluorite
Two minerals have the same color and luster what else could you use to identify the mineral?
Examples of mineral characteristics: - density - hardness - refractive index - chemical composition - magnetic properties - cleavage - crystal system - radioactivity
Why doesn't the topaz leave a streak?
Topaz is a hard mineral, ranking 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, so it is harder than most common materials used to test streak. Since streak tests are typically performed on softer minerals, such as using a porcelain streak plate with a hardness of about 6.5, the topaz does not leave a streak because it is harder than the material being used for the test.
What is the cleavage of copper?
Cobalt has a cleavage in three directions, forming a cube.
Do all minerals have a cleavage?
No, not all minerals have cleavage. Cleavage is a property in which a mineral breaks along planes of weakness to form smooth surfaces. Some minerals exhibit cleavage, while others may fracture irregularly or have no cleavage at all.
What is the cleavage of titanium?
its white and has a streak of a babys bum
What determines whether a mineral displays fracture or cleavage?
the streak of the mineral
What four characteristics do all minerals share?
property,cleavage,fracture,streak
What basic characteristics do all minerals share?
cleavage, luster, color, streak
What are the 5 properties?
the 5 properties are cleavage hardness luster color streak
What properties does a mineral?
color, luster, fracture/cleavage, streak, hardness, density
What is more common cleavage or fracture?
Cleavage
What properties are used to identify rocks and minerals?
Hardness, Cleavage, Luster, Color, Streak, and Texture.
What are four characteristics of mineral which can be used to identify it?
Color, streak color, hardness, cleavage, and chemical.
What is the name of the mark a mineral makes?
Streak. The 6 properties of minerals are streak, hardness, crystal form, color, cleavage/fracture, and luster. Hope that can answer your question:)
What is gneiss streak?
Gneiss does not have a streak because it is a metamorphic rock composed of interlocking minerals with no cleavage. The streak test is typically used to determine the color of the powdered form of a mineral when rubbed against a streak plate, but this is not applicable to gneiss.
The most useful physical properties for identifying minerals are?
The most useful physical properties for identifying minerals are color, luster, hardness, cleavage, fracture, streak, and specific gravity. These properties help geologists distinguish between different minerals based on their unique characteristics.
