How to recognize it
Telyushenkoite can be identified in the field by its vitreous luster and colorless or white color. It has a Mohs hardness of approximately 6 to 7, which allows it to scratch glass but not quartz. Its streak is white, and it has a moderate density. Due to its rarity and similar appearance to other tectosilicates, it may be confused with minerals of the feldspar group. Careful chemical analysis is necessary for accurate identification.
