Minerals are distinguished from one another by their specific chemical composition and crystal structure. An analysis of the elements present in a mineral sample using techniques like X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and chemical tests can help identify and differentiate minerals based on their unique properties. Additionally, physical characteristics such as color, hardness, density, and luster are also used to distinguish between different minerals.
