La couleur du trait, appelée simplement «trait», ou trace, est [...] un moyen [...] significatif de détermination des minéraux. La coloration d'un minéral ou d'une variété est généralement due à des impuretés en trace ou à des dérangements du réseau cristallin, et est donc une couleur étrangère au minéral. Au contraire, la couleur du trait reproduit fidèlement la couleur propre d'une espèce minérale, qui est unique et indépendante des variétés de coloration. 4, record 4, French, - trait
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[Le trait] se détermine sur la trace laissée par le minéral lorsqu'on frotte ce dernier sur une plaque de porcelaine non émaillée (en autant que la dureté de la plaque est supérieure à celle du minéral). Par exemple, [...] la pyrite, de couleur jaune or, laisse un trait noir. 3, record 4, French, - trait
