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.
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.
