Characteristics?

Origin maybe? For example compressed from sediments or spewed from volcanos or risen from deep in the crust ? What does your book say?
Some of the answer choices are ionic, covalent, rock, mineral, melt, crystallize, characteristics, or color. I was thinking either characteristics or color, but color isn't really used to identify minerals, so I was leaning toward characteristics.

Maybe but I'm going to go with characteristics. It seems to be the most reasonable of my answer choices.
