For simple identification purposes you should ask: what is the hardness of the mineral compared to other minerals; what is the color (streak) of the mineral when scratched on an unglazed porcelain ceramic surface; and does the mineral react with dilute hydrochloric acid or vinegar, indicating whether or not it's a carbonate mineral. Other identifiers would be the mineral's specific gravity, lustre, and crystal classification.
