Dolomite only has a hardness of ~4 but is very brittle and sharp it often forms with many small white, grey, clear or pink crystals. Because dolomite is sharp and can be broken easily, it can be very dangerous to miners.
Calcite is a compound and therefore cannot be classified as a metal or nonmetal.
Calcite typically exhibits a vitreous or glassy luster.
Vitreous. Otherwise, no.
Pyrite is a mineral that is softer than calcite, has a metallic luster, and exhibits cubic cleavage.
No, calcite is not metallic. It is a mineral that exhibits a vitreous or pearly luster and is typically translucent to opaque. It is a non-metallic mineral.
Calcite is a compound and therefore cannot be classified as a metal or nonmetal.
Calcite typically exhibits a vitreous or glassy luster.
No. It is transparent and does not contain metals.
Vitreous. Otherwise, no.
luster means dumbness.
No. It is transparent and does not contain metals.
Pyrite is a mineral that is softer than calcite, has a metallic luster, and exhibits cubic cleavage.
Yes, calcite is a nonmetallic mineral that is typically white or colorless. It has a vitreous to pearly luster and is commonly found in sedimentary rocks such as limestone and marble.
No, calcite is not metallic. It is a mineral that exhibits a vitreous or pearly luster and is typically translucent to opaque. It is a non-metallic mineral.
A non-metallic mineral such as quartz or calcite.
Limestone does not have a luster. It's main constituent, the mineral calcite, has a vitreous or glassy luster.
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.
