Mineral Luster. Luster is a description of the way a mineral surface looks when light reflects off of the surface. Luster has two categories, metallic and nonmetallic.

Often, determining the luster of a particular specimen is personal; to some it may appear as one type of luster, and to others as a different type.he terms used to describe luster are: 1  Metallic (also known as splendent). 2  Submetallic. 3  Vitreous (also known as glassy). 4  Adamantine (also known as brilliant or diamondlike). 5  Resinous (also known as resinlike). 6  Silky. 7  Pearly (also known as mother-of-pearl).
