Mineral ID process Gain the knowledge to help identify minerals

Mineral Hardness Hardness: resistance to being scratched by another mineral of substance.

Moh’s Hardness Scale Scale 1 though 10 1 is the softest 10 is the hardest

Cleavage A minerals tendency to split along flat surfaces

Fracture When a mineral breaks in not uniform directions.

Color You can have metallic and nonmetallic

Luster The way a mineral shines in the light. Helps to describe metallic and nonmetallic Vitreous: shiny like glass

Streak Color of the mineral’s powder Found by scratching mineral against a porcelain plate.

Light and Minerals Transparent: you can see through the mineral Translucent: Light can pass through the mineral Opaque: no light can pass through the mineral.

Physical Properties Elastic Flexible Malleable Magnetic
