Syenite vs Amphibolite Properties

Properties of Syenite and Amphibolite play an important role in determining the type of rock. Along with Syenite vs Amphibolite properties, get to know more about Syenite 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 Syenite and Amphibolite.
