Best Answer

The definition of hue is color. Appearance could also relate to color, or if the mineral has cleavage or is fractured. Cleavage refers to the formation of a mineral in layers, and fracture is when a mineral has no specific formation pattern. These characteristics are visible. How a mineral appears is what it looks like.
