Answer the following question on the lines provided.
11. What three tests would you perform to help you identify an unknown mineral?
Mohs?
streak?
crystal system?
lustre?
color?
fracture/cleavage?
In the blanks at the left, write the terms that correctly complete each statement.

12. The mineral
is sometimes confused with gold because both
minerals are the color of

graphite, pencils
& fission uranium plutonium enrichment
weapons reactor
cores like Hanford

is soft enough to leave a streak on paper
and is commonly used in
.
pyrite = Iron
Sulfite = FeS =
green streak
gold = Au
