A streak test can be used to identify a mineral's color by rubbing it against an unglazed porcelain tile to observe the color of the powder left behind. This color may differ from the mineral's surface color.
A streak of coal refers to the color that results when coal is scratched or rubbed against a surface. It is typically black or dark brown in color due to the presence of carbon and other minerals in the coal. This streak can help identify the type of coal and its quality.

Which mineral leaves a green-black powder when rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate?
The mineral that leaves a black streak is called magnetite. When magnetite is scratched against a white ceramic plate, it leaves a distinctive black streak behind.
