Properties of Luxullianite

Physical Properties of Luxullianite

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

Hardness and Strength of Luxullianite

The physical properties of Luxullianite 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 Luxullianite 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 Luxullianite is white whereas its fracture is not available. Luster of Luxullianite is the interaction of light with the surface of Luxullianite. Luster of Luxullianite is dull to grainy with sporadic parts pearly and vitreous. Luxullianite cleavage is not available. The specific gravity of Luxullianite is 2.6-2.7. Luxullianite 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.
