What are the differences between metallic and non-metallic minerals?
Metallic minerals have a significant metallic elemental composition, resulting in a set of physical properties that are specific to them such as conductivity and metallic luster. Non-metallic minerals do not possess significant elemental metallic composition of exhibit those physical properties.
