    This document provides a flow chart to help identify common minerals based on their visual properties. The chart lists key identifying features such as streak (colored residue left when mineral is scratched), color, special features, and a photo of each mineral. Some minerals that are identified include azurite by its deep blue color, magnetite by its ability to pick up paperclips and being magnetic, and halite by its salty taste and ability to dissolve in vinegar. The chart aims to aid in mineral identification through observation of visual characteristics.
