Luster is a distinctive property of minerals that help distinguish different minerals from one another. It is the way the surface of a mineral reflects light. If it is metallic, it looks like metal, is opaque and reflective. Some examples are pyrite, galena, and hematite. If it is non-metallic, it is basically anything that doesn't look like a metal.
