Limestone is not a metal, it is a type of rock.
True. The luster of a mineral is described as either metallic or nonmetallic. Metallic luster reflects light like metal, while nonmetallic luster can vary from glassy to earthy in appearance.
One common test to distinguish between nonmetallic and metallic minerals is the streak test. Nonmetallic minerals will typically leave a powder streak of color when rubbed against a white ceramic plate, while metallic minerals will leave a metallic streak.
The mineral that fits this description is graphite. It has a nonmetallic luster, is black in color, and has a low hardness that allows it to be easily scratched by a fingernail.
The mineral that is nonmetallic and has a silky luster is serpentine. Serpentine is a group of minerals that are typically green in color and have a silky or waxy sheen on its surface. It is commonly found in metamorphic rocks.
The mineral you are referring to is likely magnetite. Magnetite is a black mineral with a nonmetallic luster, often appearing metallic or glassy. It is a common iron oxide mineral found in a variety of geological settings.
what are two uses of nonmetallic mineral resources
no
Wood
Limestone is not a metal, it is a type of rock.
Wood is a nonmetallic mineral resource. Coal, iron, and aggregate are metallic mineral resources.
a metallic mineral and nonmetallic mineral thankz ^^
No, wood is not considered a nonmetallic mineral resource. Wood is derived from trees, which are living organisms and not classified as minerals. Nonmetallic mineral resources include materials like sand, gravel, limestone, and gypsum.
Sulfur is nonmetallic
No, it is not a mineral of any kind.
yes think so
There are three common types of nonmetallic luster: vitreous (glassy), pearly, and resinous. These types describe the appearance of a mineral's surface when light is reflected off of it.
