Mineral Review

The color of a mineral in powder form is called the mineral's 

• hardness
• specific gravity
• luster
• streak

The five characteristics that all minerals share are:

• Definite Chemical Composition, Color, Density, Igneous, and Solid
• Definite Chemical Composition,  Crystal Structure, Inorganic, Naturally Occurring, and Solid
• Cleavage, Faces, Hardness, Metamorphic, and Streak
• Cleavage, Crystal Structure, Density, Igneous, and Solid

How light reflects off of a mineral is called the mineral's 

• luster
• streak
• cleavage
• fracture
