2. Mineral ID Properties: In order to identify minerals, we need to observe, measure, or test for a number of properties.  For this question, list as many properties used to identify minerals as you can. For each one, if you have to test for it, explain how you would do so and what you would look for. If you can simply observe it by looking at the sample, explain what you would be looking for. You do NOT have to say exactly which properties apply to which minerals. You do not have to come up with EVERY single property to get full credit. NOTE: I am not asking you to DEFINE a mineral, I am asking you what characteristics (physical properties) are used to IDENTIFY individual mineral samples.
