Properties of Sovite

Physical Properties of Sovite

Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Sovite like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Sovite rock are vital in determining its Sovite Texture and Sovite Uses.

Hardness and Strength of Sovite

The physical properties of Sovite depend on its formation. Physical properties of rocks play an important role in determining its applications in various fields. Rocks are rated on the on the Moh's Hardness Scale which rates the rocks on the scale from 1 to 10. Rocks with hardness 1-3 are soft rocks from 3-6 are medium hardness rocks and 6-10 are hard rocks. The hardness of Sovite is 3 whereas its compressive strength is Not Available. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Sovite is white whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Sovite is the interaction of light with the surface of Sovite. Luster of Sovite is subvitreous to dull. Sovite cleavage is not available. The specific gravity of Sovite is 2.86-2.87. Sovite is opaque in nature whereas its toughness is 1. You can also know all the list of rocks in Opaque Rocks, Translucent Rocks and Transparent Rocks.
