Magnetite can be black and it has a black streak. It is metallic and iron ore
Muscovite has a white streak.
Red to reddish brown as for most iron oxides.
One physical property that can be used to distinguish hematite from other minerals is its streak color. Hematite typically leaves a reddish-brown streak when scratched against an unglazed porcelain plate. This can help differentiate it from other minerals that may have different streak colors.
You can perform a streak test to distinguish between hematite and copper. Copper will leave a reddish-brown streak, while hematite will leave a reddish-brown to dark red streak. To carry out the test, you would take a streak plate or unglazed porcelain and rub the sample against it to observe the color of the streak left behind.

There are 5 industrially important minerals of Iron. The five are: Hematite,Magnetite,Limonite,Goethite and Siderite. Each mineral has its own color streak.Hematite no matter its color, is always red or red-brownLimonite's streak is always yellow.Magnetite has a black streakSiderite has a white or pale-brown streak.Goethite has a brown,brownish-yellow to orange-yellow streak.
Muscovite has a white streak.
The streak color of copper is reddish-brown. When you rub a copper sample against a streak plate, it leaves behind a reddish-brown mark.
a black mineral can have a brown streak.
Yes, iron ore does have a streak. The streak color of iron ore is typically reddish-brown due to the presence of iron oxide. This streak test can help identify the mineral when rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate.
The streak test involves rubbing a mineral against an unglazed porcelain plate to observe the color of the residue left behind. Limonite typically leaves a yellow-brown streak due to its high iron content, while hematite leaves a red to reddish-brown streak. By comparing the streak colors, one can differentiate between limonite (yellow-brown streak) and hematite (red streak).
a black mineral can have a brown streak.
Hematite is typically a dark gray to black mineral with a reddish streak, while galena is a silvery-gray mineral with a cubic crystal structure. One way to differentiate between them is by performing a streak test: hematite will leave a reddish-brown streak, while galena will leave a gray streak. Additionally, galena is heavier than hematite and has a metallic luster.
Red to reddish brown as for most iron oxides.
Even though it's a blackish/brown mineral, it leaves a WHITE streak.
The mineral described is likely hematite. Hematite is commonly found as red and earthy looking with a metallic to earthy luster. It has a characteristic red-brown streak and often occurs in a crumbly or granular form.
