What else can I help you with?
Calcite halite and fluorite all have perfect cleavages and they can all be the same color. How would you distinguish among them?
You can distinguish these minerals by testing their physical properties such as taste (halite is salty), hardness (calcite scratches easily with a knife, halite is soft, fluorite is harder), and fluorescence (fluorite exhibits fluorescence under UV light). Additionally, you can use a hand lens to examine their crystal shapes or conduct a streak test to observe their powder color.
The color of fluorite changes due to .?
The color of fluorite changes due to the presence of impurities in its crystal structure. Different impurities can interact with light in various ways, influencing the color of the fluorite. This phenomenon is known as "color zoning" and can result in a wide range of colors in fluorite crystals.
Is streak the color of powder?
Streak refers to the color of a mineral in powder form.
What color is the streak of dolomite?
the color of the streak for dolomite is white
What is the color of a minerals powder called?
there is no name for the color, but there is the "streak" of a mineral, meaning the color of its streak.

Is color a diagnostic or ambiguous property of fluorite?
Color is an ambiguous property of fluorite. Fluorite can come in a wide range of colors due to impurities in its composition, so its color alone is not a reliable diagnostic characteristic. Other properties, such as cleavage and fluorescence, are better for identifying fluorite.
What kind of mineral leaves a greenish-black streak and cannot be scratched by fluorite?
Pyrite
What is the streak color of chalcopyrite?
the streak color is Dark Green
What is perlite's streak color?
Perlite does not have a streak color because it is a volcanic glass that does not leave a streak on a streak plate.
