Hmm... weird. My teacher said the properties of a mineral were color, streak, luster, hardness, cleavage, magnetic, acid reaction, taste, and oder... And thanks for #4 :)

Ultrilliam:

Those are... but a mineral must also be naturally occurring... so I'm confused on number 1....

AshtynThatDrummerGirl:

I turned it in with the following answers and got 10/10 Naturally Occuring True Metallic and Non-Metallic Mineral Characteristic False For number 1 I think the fact that most, if not all minerals are naturally occuring. Or it's a characteristic and not a property. Idk, but thank you so much for the help anyway!! ^.^

Ultrilliam:

Probably a characteristic I guess...

Ultrilliam:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ultrilliam:

I guess I confused the 2 for a second there

AshtynThatDrummerGirl:
