luster (in geological terms) refers to the reflective surface of different minerals. Not sure what dolomite is :/ i actually stumbled upon this because i was trying to find out the same thing
Metallic luster: minerals that have the appearance of polished metal, such as pyrite or galena. Vitreous luster: minerals that have a glassy appearance, like quartz or feldspar. Pearly luster: minerals that exhibit a soft, pearl-like sheen, such as talc or gypsum.
No, metallic and glassy are not types of cleavage. Metallic refers to a type of luster in minerals, while glassy describes the appearance of a mineral's surface. Cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along planes of weakness.
Four common properties of minerals are hardness, luster, cleavage or fracture, and color. Hardness refers to the mineral's resistance to scratching, while luster describes how light reflects off the surface. Cleavage refers to how a mineral breaks along planes of weakness, and fracture describes irregular breaks. Color can vary among minerals but is not always a reliable indicator of mineral identification.
Muscovite, a type of mica, exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster. Its shiny appearance is due to its layered structure, which reflects light effectively. This luster, combined with its perfect cleavage, makes muscovite easily identifiable in various geological contexts.
cleavage, fracture, luster, streak and color
Pyrite is a mineral that is softer than calcite, has a metallic luster, and exhibits cubic cleavage.
No, lodestone does not have cleavage because it is a naturally occurring magnetite mineral with a metallic luster and is typically massive, lacking any distinct cleavage planes.
cleavage, luster, color, streak
the 5 properties are cleavage hardness luster color streak
color, luster, fracture/cleavage, streak, hardness, density
Sandstone does not have luster and is classified as dull. Sandstone does not have either fracture or cleavage either because it is a rock rather than a mineral.
Diamond is a familiar mineral that exhibits adamantine luster. Its exceptional hardness and perfect cleavage contribute to this distinctive luster, giving it a brilliant shine and sparkle.
Vitreous. Otherwise, no.
Hardness, Cleavage, Luster, Color, Streak, and Texture.
The cleavage of gold may vary do to the type
Fracture, cleavage, luster, hardness, color ect. a property a mineral posesses.
The properties in identifying minerals are color,luster,hardness,cleavage and fracture,and streak.
