What are four characteristics of mineral which can be used to identify it?
Color, streak color, hardness, cleavage, and chemical.
What is the eight ways to identify a mineral?
By the mineral color, streak color, luster, hardness, the property of the mineral, if it's fracture or cleavage and it's specific gravity. Those are just basic, so there's many other ways to ID a mineral.
What are the 6 properties used to identify mineral?
In a hand sample/specimen you can the properties used to identify minerals are luster, diaphaneity, color, streak, luminescence, play of colors, crystal shape, tenacity, cleavage, hardness, specific gravity and density, magnetism, electrical properties, reaction to acid.
Is the cleavage for a mineral is always the same for that mineral?
Yes, all different samples of that mineral will have the same cleavage.
