Streak

The streak of a mineral is its color when it´s in powder form. We usually identify the streak of a particular specimen by rubbing it across a piece of unglazed porcelain (a ´streak plate´). Some minerals leave no streak, or leave a streak that is the same color as the mineral. However, many minerals do have a diagnostic color that is more reliable for identification purposes than the color of the specimen itself.
