Answer 2

Shiny, dull, earthly, metallic, glassy, and waxy all describe this property of a mineral:

• A mineral's luster is a measurement of how much and how effectively it reflects light.
• Mineralogists use the term "luster" to describe the look of minerals. The metallic or non-metallic character of the mineral is one simple way to categorize luster. Minerals with a metallic gleam, such as pyrite, are opaque and glossy. Quartz, for example, has a non-metallic shine.
• The physical properties of luster ("shiny") and colour characterize a mineral termed as "shine yellow" ("yellow"). Metallic, glossy, pearly, smooth, greasy, and dull are all terms used to describe luster. It's frequently helpful to see if a mineral has a metallic luster initially.
• The term "metallic luster" refers to the shine of polished metal. Chrome, steel, titanium, copper, and brass, as well as a variety of other minerals, have a gleaming look. The most prevalent nonmetallic lustrer is glassy, which means the minerals as though it were made of glass, the surface reflects light.
