Can you explain why color is not a reliable method for identifying a mineral?
Colors are not a reliable method for identifying a mineral because different minerals can have the same color. Take Calcite, Halite and Gypsum for example. At first glance, all three of them appear to be the same mineral. All three of them even have the same streak and luster. However, they all have a different hardness. Calcite has a hardness of three, Halite has 2.5 and Gypsum has 2. Halite is made out of Sodium Chloride, but I wouldn't recommend tasting your mineral samples.
