Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001241

A characteristic used in mineral identification, referring to the appearance of a mineral under reflected or transmitted light. While some minerals have a consistent color, others exhibit a range of hues due to impurities or structural variations. The streak, or color of a mineral's powder, provides a more reliable diagnostic property.
