Hardness
A minerals resistance to being scratched.
Ranked from 1-10 on Mohs Hardness Scale.
1=softest, 10=hardest
Harder mineral will scratch a softer mineral!
Streak:
The powdered form of a mineral
Varieties of Hematite all same color streak
Cleavage

Types of Cleavage
.
Cleavage
Fracture cleavage
Fractured quartz crystal

Magnetism
Many iron minerals
will produce an
invisible magnetic
force field.
Lodestone acts
like a magnet.
Magnetite is
attracted to a
magnet.

Radioactivity
Give off subatomic
particles that can
be detected by a
Geiger counter.
Exposure can be
dangerous to living
organisms.
