Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Test the hardness against substances/objects of known hardness; search for the number of cleavage planes and their orientation relative to one another. Identify the luster. Attempt to streak the mineral against a ceramic plate. Drop hydrochloric acid on it. See if it's magnetic. Compare all of these criteria to known properties for minerals, perhaps from my lab manual.
