Minerals have four characteristics A mineral is a
substance that: • Forms in nature• Is a solid• Has a definite chemical
make up It consists of specific combinations of elements
• Has a crystal structure Atoms are arranged in an orderly, repeating, 3-D pattern.

Questions to Ponder Are water and ice minerals?
• Water: No, it is not a solid
• Ice: Yes, it fits all four categories
Can minerals be found in rocks?• yes
Can minerals exist as gas, liquid, and solid? • No, it has to be a solid

Rock vs. Mineral Are all rocks minerals?
• No• A mineral has to have all four
characteristics • A rock only needs two
It forms naturally and it is solid• A rock usually contains two or more types of
minerals

Color and Streak The same mineral
can be many different colors, but the streak color is generally the same.
Streak: • The color of a mineral
powder left behind when a mineral is scraped across a surface.

Luster Luster describes the way in which
light reflects from its surface. metallic or nonmetallic.
