Microscopically you could be seeing sacromeres. Otherwise, these streaks are called striations.
A streak test typically involves a piece of unglazed porcelain, known as a streak plate, and the mineral being tested. The mineral is scraped across the surface of the streak plate to produce a mark or streak of powdered material. This streak reveals the true color of the mineral in its powdered form, which can help in its identification.
It is called streak testing.
Tanzanite has a streak that is typically a light blue to violet color. Streak refers to the color of the powder produced when a mineral is scraped across a hard surface, such as a porcelain plate. This characteristic can be useful in identifying the mineral, as the streak color may differ from the color of the mineral itself. Tanzanite's streak helps to confirm its identity in mineralogy.
Those minerals that are harder than the unglazed porcelain streak plate will scratch it rather than leave a streak.

yes they do streak
I like that streak of blonde in your hair. I saw a jet streak across the sky.
The lack of a streak would indicate that the mineral is harder than the streak plate, or the color of the streak is the same as the color of the streak plate.
The comet was seen to streak across the evening sky.
Sulfur's streak is a pale yellow color. This is the color left behind when a mineral is scraped across a porcelain tile to test its streak.
Talc has a streak color of white. This means that when scraped across a white, unglazed porcelain plate, talc leaves behind a white streak.
The dust left on a surface after a mineral is scraped across it is called streak.
The powder left behind on a streak plate is called a streak. It is produced by scraping a mineral sample across the plate to reveal its color and texture. This streak can be compared to a mineral's known streak color to help with identification.
there is no name for the color, but there is the "streak" of a mineral, meaning the color of its streak.
There is no muscle that runs ACROSS the body except the diaphragm.
