Bearing in mind that Gneiss is not a mineral, and that it is very hard, Gneiss does not leave a streak, but scratches the plate (don't try it - this is not how you classify Gneiss). Gneiss is classified by its Gneissose Banding - distinct bands of light Feldspar/Quartz and dark Micas. It is also classified by the extent of metamorphism which has taken place.
