The physical properties of minerals are largely determined by their interaction with light, the arrangement of atoms within their crystal lattice, and their state of aggregation. These properties are critical in the fields of crystallography, mineralogy, and economic geology, as they provide a basis for mineral identification, classification, and utilization. One of the primary physical properties influenced by light is luster, which describes the way light reflects from a mineral's surface. Minerals may exhibit metallic, vitreous, pearly, silky, or dull luster depending on their atomic structure and surface characteristics. For example, galena has a metallic luster due to its dense atomic packing and high reflectivity,
