Hefting a mineral refers to the process of picking up a mineral specimen to gauge its weight and density by feel. This technique helps geologists and mineral enthusiasts assess the mineral's characteristics, as different minerals have distinct weights and heft. It can also serve as an initial method for identifying minerals before more detailed analysis is conducted.

Hefting is a simple method to roughly compare the weight of two mineral samples. By holding them in each hand, you can estimate which one is heavier based on the weight you feel. Keep in mind that this method is subjective and can only provide a general comparison, not precise measurements.
I kept strong by hefting over 200 pounds
It is a mineral.
Non mineral
mineral
it is mineral because it is our teasure
false a mineral can not scratch any mineral harder than itself
When a mineral can scratch another mineral, it means that the mineral is harder than the mineral it can scratch. Hardness is a measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched, with the Mohs scale commonly used to rank minerals based on their hardness.
no is not a mineral
