LUSTERLUSTER

Metallic Luster - GalenaGalena has the real metallic luster, with every fresh face like a mirror.

Glassy or Vitreous Luster - QuartzQuartz sets the standard for glassy (vitreous) luster, especially in clear crystals

like these.

Adamantine Luster - DiamondDiamond shows the definitive adamantine luster (extremely shiny, even fiery), but only on a clean crystal face or fracture surface. This specimen has a luster better described as greasy.

Metallic Luster - GoldGold has a metallic luster, shiny on a clean face and dull on a worn face like this nugget.

Submetallic Luster - HematiteHematite has a submetallic luster in this specimen, although it can also be dull.

Adamantine Luster - RubyRuby and other varieties of corundum can display an adamantine luster owing to its high index of refraction.

Cleavage (Belahan)Cleavage (Belahan)

Mengikuti Mengikuti bentuk bentuk kristalkristal

Cleavage is the way a mineral breaks. Many minerals break along flat planes, or cleavages—some in only one direction (like mica), others in two directions (like feldspar), and some in three directions (like calcite) or more (like fluorite). Some minerals, like quartz, have no cleavage. Cleavage is a profound property that results from a mineral's molecular structure, and cleavage is present even when the mineral doesn't form good crystals. Cleavage can also be described as perfect, good or poor.

Fracture is breakage that is not flat. The two main kinds of fracture are conchoidal (shell-shaped, as in quartz) and uneven. Metallic minerals may have a hackly (jagged) fracture. A mineral may have good cleavage in one or two directions but fracture in another direction.

Amygdaloidal HabitAmygdaloidal means almond-shaped, but it refers to the former gas bubbles in lava called amygdules, cavities that have become filled with various minerals.

Fibrous HabitRutile is typically prismatic, but it can form whiskers as in this rutilated quartz. Curved or bent fibrous minerals are called capillary or filiform instead.

Dendritic HabitDendritic means "like branches." It can refer to flat crystals, like those of manganese oxides, or three-dimensional forms like this specimen of native copper.

Drusy HabitDruses are openings inside rocks that are lined with projecting crystals. Amethyst, cut from geodes, is commonly sold in rock shops for its pretty drusy habit.

MagnetismMagnetismMagnetism is a distinctive property in a few minerals. Magnetite is the prime example, but a few other minerals may be weakly attracted by a magnet, notably chromite (a black oxide) and pyrrhotite (a bronze sulfide). Use a strong magnet. Another way to test magnetism is to see if the specimen attracts a compass needle.
