Minerals you have to Know Halite Calcite Mica Pyrite Gypsum

A Mineral Has To be Natural Solid Nonorganic (inorganic) no C-H bonds Has to have a definite atomic composition Has to have a definite atomic arrangement

Way to Identify a Mineral Hardness: Moth's hardness scale (resistance to being scratched Luster: how it reflects light How it breaks: (cleavage or fracture) Specific Gravity: (comparing it’s density to the density of water) Streak: Powder form of a mineral Color (comes from small impurity so worst way to identify)
