== == Depends upon the composition of the conglomerate, which can be anything. This is not a normal thing to do for a sedimentary rock.
Hardness, luster, and streak are used to aid in the identification of minerals. Conglomerate is a rock composed of other rocks which could contain a wide variety of minerals.

∙ 10y agoBecause sandstone a rock which can have various mineral and chemical constituents, it will not have a specific hardness, luster, and streak as does an individual mineral.

∙ 13y agoConglomerate has a dull luster or in other words it does not reflect light. Conglomerate sedimentary rocks are used in the construction industry. It is a sedimentary rock with a variable hardness, consisted of rounded or angular rock or mineral fragments cemented by silica, lime, iron oxide, etc. Usually found in mostly thick, crudely stratified layers. Used in the construction industry.

What is shale's streak?
Shale normally leaves a brown streak on unglazed porcelain plates. However, shale can also leave a white streak on unglazed porcelain plates.
Why is Queenston Shale of the Niagara Escarpment red?
The clay and mud forming the future shale was eroded from a mountain range that was rich in iron minerals, roughly 400+ million years ago, thus the red color.
Is shale magnetic?
no shale is not magnetic
What is a carbonaceous shale?
A shale with a higher than normal carbon content.
What type of metamorphic rock does shale form?
shale

Do all mineral leave a streak?
Shale is a type of rock, not a mineral. Streak is used to help classify minerals. It can leave a streak, but it doesn't mean anything.
Is shale shiny or dull?
It can, but is usually more of a gray colour.
Specific gravity of shale?
Ibstock.com give minimum SG of 2.1 to 2.2 for dry engineering brick, depending on class.
What is the hardness of mica on mohs hardness scale?
Schist is a composite material made up of a mixture of several minerals, each of which have different mohs hardness. Schist is made mostly of quartz (mohs 7) and feldspar (mohs 6) but also includes minerals such as chlorite (mohs 2) and hornblende (mohs 5). Schist has no real mohs hardness, but a composite of its constituents of approximately 6.
Shale for road building?
Shale in general is the most abundant of stratified rocks. One of the most popular forms of shale used for building roads is called Marcellus Shale. When this clay shale is nearly pure it is known as argillaceous. When it contains a lot of sand it is arenaceous. You will find that shale varies in color, reddish, very black, or grey. Shale is used mainly for top dressing on roads. To have a good road base slate is recommended.
Why is Queenston Shale of the Niagara Escarpment red?
The clay and mud forming the future shale was eroded from a mountain range that was rich in iron minerals, roughly 400+ million years ago, thus the red color.
Is shale magnetic?
no shale is not magnetic
Is shale an element?
No. Shale is a mixture.
Is shale gas found under the see?
It can be. It is found in a rock type called shale and is produced in the shale form the original bio mater included in the deposition of the shale. If a unit of shale lithology is to be found on the continental shelf strata then it is likely that that shale will contain shale gas and it will be under the sea.
What is metamorphic shale?
The Shale is not a metamorphic rock it is a sedimentary rock.
