the mineral's "color"
The mineral is hematite.
it is hardness
An accessory mineral is a mineral present in small amounts in a rock, but not considered to be characteristic of the rock.
metallic luster
That depends on how much mineral you have.
I'm not sure maybe someone else should answer it because it's on my science worksheet
The type of visible light reflected off a mineral depends on its specific crystal structure and chemical composition. Different minerals will reflect different colors of light, giving them their unique appearance and color. This phenomenon is known as mineral coloration.
The characteristic property of the mineral pyrite is sand it is very shiny
When light strikes the surface of a mineral, it can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed depending on the mineral's properties. The reflective properties are influenced by factors like crystal structure, surface roughness, and mineral composition, which determine how the light interacts with the mineral's surface and gives it its characteristic appearance.

The term for the way light is reflected from the surface of a mineral crystal is called luster.
The property you are referring to is called luster. Luster describes how light is reflected off the surface of a mineral, and can be categorized as metallic, glassy, pearly, dull, or earthy, among others. It is an important diagnostic characteristic used in mineral identification.
