What are the eight ways to identify corundum?
THE EIGHT WAYS TO I.D. A MINERALThe eight ways to identify a mineral such as corundum are 1 hardness 2 crystal shape 3 special features 4 density 5 streak 6 luster 7 cleavage or fracture 8 color. (to find out hardness look up "Mohs scale of hardness" everything else you could search it on google or bing)
What quick test could you do to determine which is calcite and which is halite?
you can use streak by rubbing 2 minerals on a white hard surface. If the mineral leaves color its calcite and if it doesnt its halcite
Will diamond leave a streak on a streak plate?
Diamond will not leave a streak on a porcelain streak plate because diamond is harder than the streak plate. It will leave a scratch on the streak plate for the same reason.
What is used to find the streak of a mineral?
The streak of a mineral refers to the color left on a streak plate after rubbing a mineral across its surface. A streak plate can be as simple as the unglazed side of a porcelain tile. The streak is the mineral in a powdered form from abrasion with the hard, slightly textured surface of the unglazed porcelain streak plate. The streak color may differ from the color observed in a specimen. The streak is used as an aid in the identification of minerals.
What is the streak of sandstone and the hardness?
Streak and Mohs hardness are descriptive and identifying terms for minerals. Because sandstone could be composed of a multitude of different rock particles or minerals, a specific hardness or streak cannot be attributed to them.
Is corundum the hardest rock?
Corundum is a mineral, therefore it could not be the hardest rock.
Could corundum scratch topaz?
Yes. Corundum will scratch topaz and every other mineral with a hardness of 9 or lower on the Mohs hardness scale.

How can you tell if you found real gold?
You could give it the streak test, find its density, determine its melting point, check it for relative hardness, take it to a jeweler or geologist, or to a mineral assay office.
What properties would you use to determine whether two minerals are different minerals?
You could use the streak color, whether it has cleavage or fracture, the texture, the luster, the hardness, the color, and lots of different properties.
