2. Mineral Identification
We look at physical
properties to identify
Hardness
Streak

Fracture
Density

3. A mineral’s resistance
to being scratched
Hardness
Moh’s scale

5. Streak Color of the powder left behind when a mineral
is scraped across

6. Is it shiny???
Luster:

7. Fracture Cleavage Breaks into Irregular pieces Breaks along
flat surfaces
