Question

which correctly lists three properties that are used to identify minerals?
○ luster, weight, streak
○ magnetism, size, weight
○ size, weight, luster
○ streak, luster, magnetism

Explanation:

Size and weight are not consistent, mineral-specific properties for identification, as they depend on the sample's amount. Luster (how light reflects off the mineral), streak (color of powdered mineral), and magnetism (a magnetic property unique to some minerals) are all standard, reliable properties used to identify minerals.

Answer:

D. streak, luster, magnetism
