Luster is the property of a mineral that describes how its surface scatters light, giving it an appearance like metallic, non - metallic (e.g., vitreous, pearly, etc.). Conchoidal fracture is about how a mineral breaks in a curved, shell - like manner. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth, flat planes. Color is the visual hue of the mineral, not related to light scattering on the surface.
