Felsite vs Amphibolite Properties
Properties of Felsite and Amphibolite play an important role in determining the type of rock. Along with Felsite vs Amphibolite properties, get to know more about Felsite Definition and Amphibolite Definition. For the ease of understanding, the properties of rocks are divided into physical and thermal properties. Rocks have a variety of properties like hardness, color, specific gravity, fracture, cleavage, luster etc. Know all about physical and thermal properties of Felsite and Amphibolite.
