Detailed description, properties, and locality information guide about the precious metal mineral native silver.
Mineral Properties. In order to use this Key and the test kit described above, you need to understand some basic properties of minerals. The most important are ...
Mineral Luster. Luster is a description of the way a mineral surface looks when light reflects off of the surface. Luster has two categories, metallic and nonmetallic.
Luster describes how a mineral appears to reflects light, and how brilliant or dull the mineral is. The terms used to describe luster are:
Scientific facts about the mineral Silver, Native silver ore including characteristics, industrial uses and occurances
Luster is a simple word for a complex thing: the way light interacts with the surface of a mineral. This gallery shows the major types of luster, which range from ...
Background: Silver has been known and used since ancient times. Evidence in Asia Minor suggests that people were separating silver from lead as long ago as 3000 B.C.E.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Color is silver white with exposed specimens tarnishing black. Luster is metallic. Transparency is opaque. Crystal System is isometric; 4/m ...
A mineral is a naturally occurring substance that is solid and stable at room temperature, representable by a chemical formula, usually abiogenic, and has an ordered ...
updated 10/06. GeoMan's Mineral Identification Minerals: Metallic Luster Generally with a colored streak, opaque. Click here for sub-metallic minerals
Electrum Mineral Facts: Chemical Formula: Au(Ag) Gold and Silver alloy, more than 20% silver by weight. Colors: Pale metallic gold, streak is the same.
Chlorargyrite, also called cerargyrite, is and/or was a locally important silver ore mineral. It forms isolated and fleetingly small but rich deposits of silver ore.

mineral n. A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure,
mineral riches provide governments with cash but do not create many jobs. The mineral could provide a crucial oxygen source for future manned lunar missions.
