Description

In this episode, I talk about mineral color and streak as ways to identify minerals in your collection.  The big take away from this episode is that color alone is not a good way to ID minerals and that using streak (the color of the powdered mineral) is a better ID tool.For the full notes and links to streak plates, go to www.geoetc.com/episode3 Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Geoetc)
