Luster –the way that light is reflected Metallic --- looks like metal Non metallic – non metal looking Non metallic categories: Glassy –looks like glass Pearly – looks like a pearl Silky – silk like, long parallel fibers Dull or earthy – no shine

If 1 mineral scratches another--- it is harder than the mineral it scratches
