The crystallographic axes of minerals are expressed as numbers. As such these numbers can also be used to describe the orientation of mineral cleavage planes. The Mohs hardness, specific gravity, and melting point of minerals are also properties that can be expressed numerically.

What properties of minerals is expressed in numbers?
hardness
Which physical properties can be expressed in numbers?
hardness
What properties distinguishes minerals from other substances?
Minerals crystal habit, cleavage, hardness, color and luster are the properties that distinguish minerals from other substances.
What properties of minerals are considered special properties that apply to only a few minerals?
Those would be properties like magnetism, fluorescence, triboluminescence.
What minerals have magnetic properties?
The following minerals have magnetic properties: Magnetite and hematite are ferromagnets. Ferrites and garnets are ferrimagnetic. Quartz, calcite, and mica are all magnetic. Although they have a small magnetic attraction, these minerals do not remain magnetic.
What properties of minerals is expressed in numbers?
hardness
What 2 properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Two properties of minerals that can be expressed in numbers are hardness and specific gravity. Hardness is usually determined using the Mohs scale and is expressed as a number between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral's density compared to the density of water and is expressed as a number.
What physical properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Density, boiling point, melting point, concentration etc...

What two properties of minerals can be expressed in numbers?
Density and Specific Gravity The specific gravity (SG) is calculated from weight in air divided by loss of weight in water, expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. The specific gravity of most minerals ranges from 1.5 up to 19.5. (CHANNEL FAIZAN BHAI GHAZI)
What ae the two physical properties of minerals?
what are two physical properties about minerals
What are the special properties minerals?
They are the properties that are unique to certain minerals such as flourescence or radioactivity
