Respuesta :

Hardness, Luster, Color/Colour, Cleavage and Fracture. Those are the 5 common ones

The special properties that help in the identification of minerals are hardness, luster, crystal, density, and cleavage.

A mineral has been a naturally occurring nonmetal. It has an ordered internal structure with a specific chemical composition. The minerals have unique physical properties with crystal structures.

The minerals can be identified by the geologists by:

  1. Test of Hardness.
  2. Identification of Lustre.
  3. Determination of crystal
  4. Determination of density,
  5. Identification of cleavage or fracture in the lattice.
