I suppose the the visual inspection and the measurement of hardness are sufficient. A magnesium test may be useful.
identify two areas that would serve as the most effective roadside ied observation point
talc and gypsum
Graphite and Talc

No, they are two different minerals.
Forensic drug testing is to identify unknown powders, liquids and pills that may be illicit drugs. There are basically two categories of forensic tests used to analyze drugs and other unknown substances. They are Presumptive tests and Confirmatory tests.
Baby powder is made from one of two things. The mineral talc or corn starch. The mineral talc contains the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen
If you can isolate the compound individually first, that's the best thing. Further to this, anion and cation tests will tell you what kind of salt it is. There are also tests to determine simple sugars.
Forensic labs are often called in to identify unknown powders, liquids and pills that may be illicit drugs. There are basically two categories of forensic tests used to analyze drugs and other unknown substances: Presumptive tests (such as color tests) give only an indication of which type of substance is present -- but they can't specifically identify the substance. Confirmatory tests (such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) are more specific and can determine the precise identity of the substance.
