  • Kerosene Lustre: Understanding Reflection and Mineral Properties
    No, kerosene does not have lustre.

    Lustre is the way a mineral reflects light. Minerals with a metallic composition, such as gold, silver, and copper, have a shiny, metallic lustre. Non-metallic minerals, such as quartz, calcite, and feldspar, have a dull lustre. Kerosene, a petroleum product, does not have a crystalline structure and therefore does not have lustre.
