Hi Sid,
Most of the attributes you mention are not dependent on the material. There are websites that list the IOR of different materials though, for instance:
https://pixelandpoly.com/ior.html
and more scientific and complete:
https://refractiveindex.info/
But the ‘best’ and most common way, is to use your eyes and try to reproduce what you see (although using the listed IOR’s as a starting point might help).
