Overview. Luster refers to the appearance of the reflection of light from a mineral's surface. It is generally broken into two main types: metallic and non-metallic. Minerals with a metallic luster have the color of metal, like silver, gold, copper, or brass (Figure 7.14). While minerals with a metallic luster are often shiny, not all shiny ...Web
Minerals that are opaque and shiny, such as pyrite, have a metallic luster. Minerals such as quartz have a non-metallic luster. Luster is how the surface of a mineral reflects light. It is not the same thing as color, so it is crucial to distinguish luster from color. For example, a mineral described as "shiny yellow" is being described in ...Web
Minerals with non-metallic luster can be divided into groups of minerals with earthy, waxy, vitreous (glassy), adamantine (diamond-like), resinous (like resin), pearly, silky, or dull luster.
