Luster is a descriptive term used in geology to describe how light reflects off the surface of a mineral. There are many different types of luster, including:
* Metallic: Looks like polished metal (e.g., pyrite)
* Vitreous: Looks like glass (e.g., quartz)
* Resinous: Looks like resin (e.g., amber)
* Pearlescent: Looks like a pearl (e.g., muscovite mica)
* Silky: Looks like silk (e.g., asbestos)
* Dull: No shine (e.g., clay)
