D.The mineral or rock must be displayed in a piece of jewelry. 4. Explain why streak is often more useful for mineral identification than color. Several different samples of one mineral may have different colors, but they usually will have the same streak.

Standards Review Natural Resources - S6E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. g.
