Yes. For instance, fluorite (CaF2) has a characteristic shape (cubic), because of the ionic bonds that the elements form, while grapite (C) has a hexagonal shape because of the covalent bonds and the angle of the bonds. The hardness is also an indication of the type of bond, e.g. Van der waals bonds present in kaolinite are weaker than ionic bonds present in halite.

Lustre (shininess) is a property that can be observed without any chemical changes to the substance, so it can't be a chemical property.
What is the most reliable physical property that can be used to identify a mineral?
The most reliable physical property to identify a mineral is its chemical composition. This is because each mineral has a unique combination of elements that make up its structure, which can be determined through chemical testing. Additionally, properties like hardness, cleavage, and specific gravity can also aid in identifying minerals.

In West Virginia does the owner of a property's mineral right have to notify the property owner before he sales them?
If the mineral rights have been severed from the property and the owner of the mineral rights does not own the property then there is no need to notify the property owner. It's possible to own the mineral rights and not own the property. That would be called the "mineral estate". The owner of the property if different than the mineral owner would be the owner of the "property estate". Being the "mineral estate" owner gives you the same rights as being a "property owner". You can do as you wish with your mineral interests. Only time there is a need to notify the property owner is if any leasing will be going on. Hope this helps.
