Which of the minerals listed below has non-metallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
The mineral that fits this description is pyrite. Pyrite has a metallic luster and can form cubic crystals, often mistaken for gold due to its brassy color and shiny appearance.
What minerals has non-metallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
Minerals such as galena, pyrite, and halite can have non-metallic luster and exhibit crystal faces that resemble small cubes. These minerals can often form in cubic or octahedral crystal shapes due to their internal atomic arrangement.
Names of minerals?
graphite galena magnetite pyrite hematite talc mica garnet quartz olivine etc.
When a sample of halite is struck with a hammer it's tends to break apart in one of three directions this tendency is called of halite?
This tendency of halite to break apart in one of three directions is called cleavage. Cleavage is a property of minerals where they break along specific planes of weakness due to their crystal structure. In the case of halite, it exhibits cubic cleavage, which means it breaks into cube-shaped fragments when struck.

Definitely pyrite for one
What mineral has a nonmetallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
galena, pyrite, fluorite, perovskite, or halite cubes

Sometimes called fools gold?
Pyrite is sometimes called fool's gold because of its metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue, which can resemble real gold to the untrained eye. However, pyrite is a different mineral with a lower value and hardness compared to gold.
What is a fool's gold rock called?
Pyrite is called "fool's gold".
What mineral has the color of gold?

Why is pyrite called fool's gold?
Fool's gold is iron pyrites, iron sulphide, FeS2. It is a sulphide mineral.
