3. Tests
3.1. Acid Test
3.1.1. Take mineral and put drop of acid on it.
3.1.2. See if mineral reacts to acid.
3.1.3. If mineral reacts there will be small bubbles.
3.1.4. If the mineral does not there will be nothing.
3.2. Luster Test
3.2.1. Take the mineral under a light and try to reflect light.
3.2.2. If the mineral reflects light you could now put it into a category witch is in the proporties tab.
3.3. Transparency Test
3.3.1. Set the mineral on a sheet of lined paper.
3.3.2. Look and see if you can see through the mineral.
3.3.3. If you can then you can put it into a catagory
3.4. Color Test
3.4.1. Observe what color the minerals are.
3.5. Streak Test
3.5.1. See if the mineral leaves a streak on a piece of metal
3.6. Mass Test
3.6.1. Put the mineral on a mass measuring tool
3.7. Volume Test
3.7.1. Put the mineral in a measured cylinder with water.
3.7.2. Then set the mineral in and see how much the water rises.
3.8. Hardness Test
3.8.1. Take the mineral and scratch copper
3.8.2. If it left a scratch then scratch glass
3.8.3. If it left a scratch on glass then it is harder than 5.5
4. Extra Facts
