yes it is part of identifying minerals. some are also color, streak, luster, density, hardness, etc. hope this helped!
chemical tests and x-rays
yes it is

Hardness, Cleavage, Luster, Color, Streak, and Texture.
Magnetism can be used to identify minerals by observing their response to a magnetic field. Some minerals are attracted to a magnet, some are repelled, and some show no response at all. By studying these behaviors, geologists can help to identify certain minerals based on their magnetic properties.
Minerals can be recognized and distinguished based on physical properties such as color, luster, hardness, cleavage or fracture, specific gravity, and crystal habit. These properties can help in identifying different minerals as they each have unique characteristics that can be used for classification.
There really isn't one single property, there are multiple properties that need to be used to diagnose a mineral.
The seven characteristics used to identify minerals are color, streak, luster, hardness, cleavage, fracture, and specific gravity. These properties can help differentiate one mineral from another based on their unique physical and chemical properties.
