Self Test Minerals
Your Name:
1) A naturally occurring inorganic solid with a definite structure and composition
fossil
rock
mineral
amber
2) The color of the powder left by a mineral is called
luster
fracture
talc
streak
3) Minerals have either a metallic or a nonmetallic
powder
streak
luster
color
4) Cubic, Tetragonal, Monoclinic, and Hexagonal are words used to describe a mineral's
crystal shape
luster
magnetism
streak
5) When a mineral splits into smooth, flat surfaces we say that it has
fracture
cleavage
luster
streak
6) The Mohs' Scale is used to measure the ______________ of a mineral
fracture
hardness
magnetism
streak
7) The Acid Tests would be most useful for identifying
feldspar
quartz
halite
calcite
8) Magnetism would be most useful for identifying the mineral
hematite
galena
calcite
magnetite
9) You can tell the difference between Quartz and Feldspar because
Feldspar has six-sided crystals and Quartz does not
Feldspar has cleavage and Quartz does not
Feldspar can scratch Quartz
Feldspar reacts to acid and Quartz does not
10) The softest mineral on Mohs' scale of hardness is
feldspar
calcite
talc
quartz
11) You can tell the difference between halite and calcite because
halite tastes like salt and calcite does not
calcite reacts to acid and halite does not
both 1 and 2 are true
#1 is true but #2 is false
12) Color and odor would be most useful for identifying
talc
quartz
calcite
sulfur
13) The property of a mineral to resist being scratched is called
luster
hardness
density
softness
