    Pyrite leaves behind a green-black streak when it is rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate as a part of the streak test process.

    Explanation:

    Different minerals produce different coloured streaks when rubbed against a white ceramic or porcelain streak plate. This streak test is done to identify the mineral and distinguish the same from other minerals that look similar in colour and texture.

    It must be ensured that the test is done on clean and fresh specimens of the mineral and that there must be no contaminants. Pyrite specimens are usually brass-yellow colour but it leaves a green-black streak when the streak test is done.
