Information about Mugearite
Rocks are naturally occurring solids which are composed of minerals & have been used by humans since ages. From Stone Age, rocks are used for various purposes. Also, the metals and minerals found in rock play an important role in our life. Get to know all the Mugearite Uses. We have provided you with all information about Mugearite rock here. Mugearite is a type of oligoclase bearing basalt, also comprising of olivine, apatite, and opaque oxides. Mugearite is available in black, brown, light to dark grey colors. The streak of a rock is the color of powder produced when it is dragged across an unweathered surface. The streak of Mugearite is white to grey.
