Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tables for the Determination of the Common Minerals and Rocks The color of a mineral may always be the same, or it may range thru various shades of one color, or the same mineral may have several different colors. Luster is defined as the appearance of the surface in reflected light. Min erais are divided into two groups on the basis of their luster, viz., metallic and non-metallic. Minerals with a metallic luster reflect light like a metal. There are various lusters in the non-metallic group, common ones being vitreous, greasy, earthy, waxy, adamantine, resinous, etc. These are defined in the glossary.
