What is the streak color of a sandstone?
The streak color of sandstone is typically white or colorless, due to its composition of quartz grains. This can be tested by rubbing the sandstone on a streak plate to observe the color left behind.
What is Sandstone streak?
No one knows.
What is the hardness level on the sandstone?
The hardness level of sandstone typically ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it a relatively soft to medium-hard rock. The specific hardness can vary based on the composition and grain size of the sandstone.
What are 2 minerals that don't leave a streak on a streak plate?
Two minerals that do not leave a streak on a streak plate are quartz and fluorite. Both minerals have a hardness higher than that of the streak plate, so they will not leave a streak when rubbed against it.
What mineral will scratch glass but not a streak plate?
Diamond is the only mineral that can scratch glass but not leave a streak on a streak plate. Glass has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale, while a streak plate typically has a hardness of around 6.5. Diamond, with a hardness of 10, is able to scratch glass but not the streak plate.
What is the streak color of a sandstone?

What is Sandstone streak?
No one knows.
Would the hardness of a mineral affects its performance in the streak test why or why not?
No, the hardness of a mineral does not affect its performance in the streak test. The streak test measures the color of the powdered form of a mineral when it is scratched against a streak plate, regardless of the mineral's hardness.
What is the hardness level on the sandstone?
The hardness level of sandstone typically ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it a relatively soft to medium-hard rock. The specific hardness can vary based on the composition and grain size of the sandstone.
What are the hardness and streak of granite?
Granite is a hard igneous rock with a hardness of around 6-7 on the Mohs scale. Its streak is typically colorless, leaving no streak on a streak plate.
Would the hardness of a mineral affect its performance in the streak test Why or why not?
No. Streak color is distinct of mineral hardness. They are separate properties.
What are 2 minerals that don't leave a streak on a streak plate?
Two minerals that do not leave a streak on a streak plate are quartz and fluorite. Both minerals have a hardness higher than that of the streak plate, so they will not leave a streak when rubbed against it.
What diamonds streak?
Diamonds are the hardest substance on Moe's Hardness Scale and as such don't have a determined streak color (since streak is determined usually by a clay tablet of hardness ~3)
What mineral will scratch glass but not a streak plate?
Diamond is the only mineral that can scratch glass but not leave a streak on a streak plate. Glass has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale, while a streak plate typically has a hardness of around 6.5. Diamond, with a hardness of 10, is able to scratch glass but not the streak plate.
What is the streak of sandstone?
Rocks are not considered to have a streak, as they may consist of several minerals. In the case of sandstone, the rock could be composed of feldspar, quartz, glauconite, and other minerals. Minerals in solutions can penetrate and stain the sandstone as well and affect the attempted streak test.
Would the hardness of a mineral affect its performance in the streak test?
No, the hardness of a mineral does not affect its performance in the streak test. The streak test is determined by the color of the powder left behind when the mineral is scratched against a ceramic plate, not the hardness of the mineral itself.
If a mineral doesn't make a streak is it not a mineral?
Minerals with a hardness greater than around 7 on the Mohs hardness scale will not leave a streak on a standard unglazed porcelain streak plate. They will instead scratch and powder the streak plate.
