Yes. Minerals have a crystalline structure and specific crystal properties which aid in their identification.
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.
Color
Minerals will have many different characteristics which can be used together to identify them.Density or specific gravity would be one element of the identification.You might also use: Color & Texture Melting Point Reactions with various chemicals. Identification of reaction products.
Learning to identify rocks can be difficult when you are first started. Once you get the hang of it though you will start to notice patterns and similarities that will help you to identify rocks and minerals. A good way to start is by purchasing a book about rocks and minerals as well as doing some research on the web.
the mohs scale is the scale we use to identify minerals
They have to identify their properties. That is how they identfiy the minerals. just kiddinq i dont know how can anyone help me!

I use mine to identify minerals in rock samples.
they have to look at the mineral.see what color it is.see the shape.how does it feel to you........?
Scientist identify minerals by Their Special properties. An example of a special propertie is a Chemical Reaction .
