Streak is a method used to help identify minerals. A mineral can have very similar characteristics such as luster, colour, hardness, specific gravity ect, but even minerals with very similar characteristics including colour can have different streaks...which is the 'colour' the mineral makes on a scratch plate when drawn accross it in a stroke..thus creating the streak.
