Properties used to identify minerals.
Scientist identify minerals by Their Special properties. An example of a special propertie is a Chemical Reaction .
Based on their composition.
They have to identify their properties. That is how they identfiy the minerals. just kiddinq i dont know how can anyone help me!
I only know one of the properties and that is the mineral's color.
Minerals are classified by chemical formula, composition, physical properties, optical properties, and special properties. The Dana Classification System is a chemical classification for minerals, and the Strunz Classification System (chemical-structural) are two systems designed for mineral classification.
to identify minerals
yes it is
Color
