5 Formation

5.1 Formation

Itacolumite is a sedimentary rock which forms from cemented sand-sized clasts and is a type of sandstone.

Mangerite is a fine-grained, hard rock which is a type of metasomatite, essentially altered basalt. It forms with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks.

All about Itacolumite and Mangerite Properties

Know all about Itacolumite and Mangerite properties here. All properties of rocks are important as they define the type of rock and its application. Itacolumite belongs to Sedimentary Rocks while Mangerite belongs to Igneous Rocks.Texture of Itacolumite is Clastic, Granular, Rough whereas that of Mangerite is Phaneritic. Itacolumite appears Rough and Mangerite appears Shiny. The luster of Itacolumite is dull while that of Mangerite is subvitreous to dull. Itacolumite and Mangerite are available in beige, black, brown, colourless, cream, dark brown, green, grey, light green, light to dark grey, pink, red, white, yellow colors. The commercial uses of Itacolumite are an oil and gas reservoir, in aquifers, petroleum reservoirs, soil conditioner, source of magnesia (mgo), tombstones and that of Mangerite are cemetery markers, creating artwork.
