Physical Properties of Vogesite
Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Vogesite like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Vogesite rock are vital in determining its Vogesite Texture and Vogesite Uses.
Hardness and Strength of Vogesite
The physical properties of Vogesite 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 Vogesite is 5-6 whereas its compressive strength is 180.00 N/mm2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Vogesite is white whereas its fracture is conchoidal. Luster of Vogesite is the interaction of light with the surface of Vogesite. Luster of Vogesite is subvitreous to dull. Vogesite cleavage is conchoidal. The specific gravity of Vogesite is 2.86-2.87. Vogesite is translucent to opaque in nature whereas its toughness is .
