10) Flame Test: K produces violet flame, Ca produces orange-red flame
11) Acid Test: HCl drops will fizz if mineral contains carbonate, sulfide, or sulfite
12) Magnetism: can be magnetic, nonmagnetic, antimagnetic

2. 9B: Identifying Minerals
13) Radioactivity: Contain (U), will produce rays that can be detected by special instruments.
14) Luminescence: ability to glow
Fluorescent: emits light while absorbing radiation; glows under UV light
Phosphorescent: continue to give off light after light source is removed.
15) Refraction: transparent minerals that bend light
U =uranium
