Physical Properties of Adamellite
Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Adamellite like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Adamellite rock are vital in determining its Adamellite Texture and Adamellite Uses.
Hardness and Strength of Adamellite
The physical properties of Adamellite 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 Adamellite is 6-7 whereas its compressive strength is 175.00 N/mm2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Adamellite is white whereas its fracture is not available. Luster of Adamellite is the interaction of light with the surface of Adamellite. Luster of Adamellite is dull to grainy with sporadic parts pearly and vitreous. Adamellite cleavage is not available. The specific gravity of Adamellite is 2.6-2.7. Adamellite is opaque in nature whereas its toughness is not available. You can also know all the list of rocks in Opaque Rocks, Translucent Rocks and Transparent Rocks.
