All about Evaporite and Itacolumite Properties

Know all about Evaporite and Itacolumite properties here. All properties of rocks are important as they define the type of rock and its application. Evaporite and Itacolumite belong to Sedimentary Rocks.Texture of Evaporite is Earthy whereas that of Itacolumite is Clastic, Granular, Rough. Evaporite appears Glassy, Vesicular and Foilated and Itacolumite appears Rough. The luster of Evaporite is subvitreous to dull while that of Itacolumite is dull. Evaporite is available in green, grey, silver, white colors whereas Itacolumite is available in beige, black, brown, cream, dark brown, green, grey, light green, light to dark grey, pink, red, white, yellow colors. The commercial uses of Evaporite are used in the manufacture of ceramic powder, used in the preparation of sulfuric acid and silicon diborite and that of Itacolumite are an oil and gas reservoir, in aquifers, petroleum reservoirs, soil conditioner, source of magnesia (mgo), tombstones.
