Properties of Troctolite

Physical Properties of Troctolite

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

Hardness and Strength of Troctolite

The physical properties of Troctolite 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 Troctolite 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 Troctolite is black whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Troctolite is the interaction of light with the surface of Troctolite. Luster of Troctolite is . Troctolite cleavage is . The specific gravity of Troctolite is 2.86-2.87. Troctolite 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.
