Answer:

Luster refers to how light is reflected from the surface of a mineral. The two main types of lustre are metallic and nonmetallic.

Vitreous lustre is one of the most commonly seen, and occurs in transparent or translucent minerals with relatively low refractive indices.

Hope that answers your question
