Physical Properties of Teschenite
Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Teschenite like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Teschenite rock are vital in determining its Teschenite Texture and Teschenite Uses.
Hardness and Strength of Teschenite
The physical properties of Teschenite 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 Teschenite is 7 whereas its compressive strength is 225.00 N/mm2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Teschenite is black whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Teschenite is the interaction of light with the surface of Teschenite. Luster of Teschenite is not available. Teschenite cleavage is not available. The specific gravity of Teschenite is 2.86-2.87. Teschenite 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.
