To get the streak of minerals having hardness below 6.5, geologists rub it on a white unglazed porcelain plate. the coloured lines found on the streak plate is the streak.
If the tile is a glazed tile and you are rubbing on the polished plane, it will never give a streak. It will only give hardness, if the mineral is harder than 6.5 in Moho's Scale.
