Properties of Mugearite

Physical Properties of Mugearite

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

Hardness and Strength of Mugearite

The physical properties of Mugearite 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 Mugearite is 6 whereas its compressive strength is 37.50 N/mm². Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Mugearite is white to grey whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Mugearite is the interaction of light with the surface of Mugearite. Luster of Mugearite is not available. Mugearite cleavage is not applicable. The specific gravity of Mugearite is 2.8-3. Mugearite is opaque in nature whereas its toughness is 2.3. You can also know all the list of rocks in Opaque Rocks, Translucent Rocks and Transparent Rocks.
