The streak of a mineral, such as charcoal, refers to the color of the powder produced when the mineral is scratched against a hard surface, like unglazed porcelain. For charcoal, the streak is typically black. This property is useful in mineral identification, as the streak color can differ from the mineral's external appearance.
