  1. 1Has 2 planes at 90 degrees. Crystals are prismatic (blocky). It can be dark green, brown or black, and vitreous (glassy). Streak is greenish white. This is a mafic mineral.Augite - mineral(pyroxene group)Has 2 planes at 90 degrees. Crystals are prismatic (blocky). It can be dark green, brown or black, and vitreous (glassy). Streak is green...
  2. 2Crystals are acicular (elongated) like needles. It can be dark green, brown or black, and vitreous (glassy). Streak is dark green. This is a magic mineral.Hornblende (Amphibole)- mineral, Looks similar to Augite but is needle like rather than blocky.
