Six methods to tell minerals apart?

1) Acid test = will it bubble? is there a light, strong, or no reaction to the acid 2) color= white, black, green, pink, or gold 3) streak= black. Brown. White. Red. This tests the powder color of the mineral 4) luster= dull, pearly, shiny 5) weight = gravity test 6) hardness= this is a scratch test mineral against a penny and a file.
