Rock and Mineral Identification Lab
Objective: To classify several mineral and rock samples using the identification
keys.
Directions: Use the physical properties of the unknown samples and the charts
in the lab to identify the rock or mineral. Mineral or rock samples will most likely
not fit all of the properties listed on the keys, but match up as many as possible
to identify the sample. Perform the following observations and tests and record
any findings on your data sheet: Color, luster (metallic or nonmetallic), streak,
hardness, cleavage/fracture, and other properties such as grain/crystal size that
may help in identification. Answer the questions at the end of the lab.
