Properties of Essexite 

Physical Properties of Essexite 

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

Hardness and Strength of Essexite 

The physical properties of Essexite  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 Essexite  is 7 whereas its compressive strength is Not Available. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Essexite  is black whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Essexite  is the interaction of light with the surface of Essexite . Luster of Essexite  is not available. Essexite  cleavage is not available. The specific gravity of Essexite  is Not Available. Essexite  is opaque in nature whereas its toughness is 1.6. You can also know all the list of rocks in Opaque Rocks, Translucent Rocks and Transparent Rocks.
