Observable properties are: color and streak, luster, cleavage and fracture (crystalline structure), and hardness.
They have to identify their properties. That is how they identfiy the minerals. just kiddinq i dont know how can anyone help me!
color
Scientist identify minerals by Their Special properties. An example of a special propertie is a Chemical Reaction .
Scientists can identify minerals by examining physical properties such as color, luster, hardness, cleavage, and crystal form. They can also test for properties like streak, specific gravity, and reaction to acid to further narrow down the identification of a mineral. These combined properties help scientists distinguish one mineral from another.
yes it is
Color
x-rays
I think its Specific Gravity :)
A mineralogist is a scientist who specializes in the study of minerals, their properties, composition, and distribution in nature. They examine the formation, classification, and identification of minerals found on Earth.
Streak hardness and shine
The stripe, and color
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.
