Excerpt from Mineral Tables for the Determination of Minerals by Their Physical Properties The only apparatus needed for the tables is a pocket-knife, a horse shoe magnet, a pocket-lens, a piece of unglazed porcelain or streak-plate, and a scale of hardness consisting of nine minerals. This scale can be procured of any mineral dealer or can be made up from specimens in an ordinary collection of minerals. Colon - The color of a mineral is perhaps the most important property used in its identification, yet it is the most difficult to accurately describe. A mineral may have but one characteristic color, or it may occur in various colors and shades; consequently a mineral may be repeated several times in the tables. The color must always be judged by the fresh surface or fracture, and it should be homogeneous throughout the mineral. Vitreous minerals may often be discolored or stained by impurities, when they manifestly belong to the color less or white class.
