Detailed Solution

Colours, Hardness and lustre are considered to classify minerals. The formation of minerals depends upon the chemical and physical conditions under which the material forms. As a result, we find various colours, hardness, crystal forms, lustre and density, which geologists consider to classify minerals. Minerals are defined as naturally occurring substances. They can be found in different forms, from the hardest substance, like a diamond, to the softest substance, such as talc. Minerals are mostly extracted from rocks. Some rocks consist of a single mineral, but most of the time, these rocks consist of several minerals in different proportions.
