Yellow Calcite
mineral homework question?
erik has some yellow stones that leave a yellow streak they can be scratched with a fingernail he wonders if they could be gold but they do not have a metallic luster what might they be?
my options are
talc
gypsum
calcite
fluorite
apatite
orthoclase
quartz
topaz
corundum
diamond
You are giving a list of the Moh's hardness scale.
The only ones capable of being scratched by a fingernail are talc and gypsum. both of these are white (pure), so the yellow is an impurity.
Most likely is impure gypsum.
It could be sulfur from the yellow streak, which is soft enough, but that is not on your list.
