What is the mineral that is softer than calcite has a metallic luster and has cubic cleavage?
Pyrite is a mineral that is softer than calcite, has a metallic luster, and exhibits cubic cleavage.
An unidentified mineral that is softer than calcite that exhibits a metallic luster and cubic cleavage?
The mineral might be pyrite, which has a hardness lower than calcite, a metallic luster, and cubic cleavage. Pyrite's hardness is around 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, compared to calcite's 3. It forms cubic crystals and has a brassy color.
Is pyrite a mineral or non mineral?
No. Pyrite is a compound composed of iron (a metal) and sulfur (a nonmetal).
One way to test a mineral is to break it and see how many directions of what it has?

How do you identify the mineral pyrite?
Pyrite can be identified as a bright-yellow mineral, with a bright-metallic luster. Pyrite can be used to spark a fire if struck against metal or another hard material. Pyrite was used as a spark-producing material in flintlock firearms.
