ALL ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF MINERALS How Are Minerals Identified?

The material met all the criteria required to be called a mineral.

Based upon Physical properties.  A solid that has a structure arranged in orderly fixed patterns.

Minerals are identified by different properties Minerals such as Fluorite can occur in many colors and the crystals can be well formed or poorly formed.

Mineral Notes Mineral = a naturally formed solid substance with a crystal structure, which was not formed from living things. Crystal structure = a definite pattern in the way the particles in a substance are arranged. pyrite

Properties used to identify minerals Hardness – ability of a mineral to resist being scratched *a harder mineral will scratch a softer mineral *Friedrich Mohs developed a system for comparing hardness of a mineral to 10 common minerals.

Properties used to identify minerals Color – a mineral may be one color or many colors. You cannot identify a mineral by color alone, but color is helpful along with other properties. Streak – the color of a mineral in powder form. Streak Test = rub mineral across unglazed porcelain

Luster – describes how a mineral reflects light from its surface.

Properties used to identify minerals Cleavage and Fracture – minerals break according to how their atoms are arranged. Cleavage = the tendency of a mineral to break along a flat surface. Fracture = the tendency of a mineral to break in a way that is not along a flat surface. Salt = cleavageQuartz = fracture
