Luster describes the reflection of light off a mineralâs surface. Mineralogists have special terms to describe luster. One simple way to classify luster is based on whether the mineral is metallic or non-metallic. 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 crucial to distinguish luster from color. For example, a mineral described as âshiny yellowâ is being described in terms of luster (âshinyâ) and color (âyellowâ), which are two different physical properties.
