In some ways it can be. You can get mineral talc as being plain and matte. Whereas, sometimes you can get it as a metallic state.
Barium is a rare metal that is non magnetic
Yes, minerals can exhibit either a metallic or a nonmetallic luster. Metallic luster gives a mineral a shiny, reflective appearance similar to that of metal, while nonmetallic luster can vary from glassy, pearly, or dull to earthy. The type of luster is determined by the mineral's surface properties and how it interacts with light. Examples include pyrite with a metallic luster and quartz with a nonmetallic luster.
The mineral that is soft and metallic is talc. Talc is known for its greasy feel and can be easily scratched with a fingernail, making it one of the softer minerals on the Mohs scale.
Barite is a non-metallic mineral. It is a sulfate mineral that is composed of barium sulfate.
A rusty nail is metallic because it is made of iron, which is a metal. The rust, formed from the oxidation of iron, is a nonmetallic compound (iron oxide), but the nail itself retains its metallic properties despite being rusty.

Nonmetallic luster refers to a dull or earthy appearance of a mineral or material that lacks the shiny or reflective properties of metallic luster. Nonmetallic luster can be described as having a matte, powdery, or waxy finish, often seen in minerals like talc or graphite.

No. Flourite is nonmetallic.
There are no "nonmetallic metals", all metals are metallic by definition.
Limestone is a nonmetallic mineral. It is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a chemical compound with a nonmetallic element (calcium) and a nonmetallic element (carbon) bonded together. Metallic minerals, on the other hand, are composed of metals or have metallic properties. Limestone does not fall into this category.
