What are the 9 properties of minerals and explain each property?

hardness-Hardness is the ability of a material to resist deformation

luster-the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal

color-the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object

streak- the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface.

specif gravity-the density of that object divided by the density of water cleavage -the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes

fracture-any separation in a geologic formation

tenacity-refers to a mineral's toughness or resistance to breaking or being deformed.

lol sorry that took awhile

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
