b. Tenacity is the mineral's resistance to breaking, bending, or otherwise deforming. A mineral's tenacity can be described as brittle, elastic, malleable, or sectile.
c. Tenacity is the mineral's resistance to breaking, bending, or otherwise deforming. A mineral's tenacity can be described as tenacious, very tenacious, or not tenacious.
d. Tenacity is the mineral's crystal's ability to stay attached to other crystals. It can be described as tenacious, very tenacious, or not tenacious.
