    This document provides descriptions of three different minerals: gypsum, olivine, and garnet. For each mineral, key properties are listed such as luster, color, hardness, cleavage, and streak to help identify the mineral. Gypsum is described as having a vitreous to pearly luster, colorless to white or light brown color, hardness of 2, and one primary and one less defined direction of cleavage with a white streak. Olivine has an olive-green to yellowish color, hardness of 6.5-7, indistinct cleavage, and white or gray streak, usually appearing in granular masses. Garnet comes in various dark red and reddish brown colors most commonly, hardness of
