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 :)
Those are... but a mineral must also be naturally occurring... so I'm confused on number 1....
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!! ^.^
Probably a characteristic I guess...

I guess I confused the 2 for a second there
Yeah, my teacher said that happens even to her so it's fine XD again, thank you XDDDD
