Learn more about Properties of Evaporite
What is Evaporite? In this section, we will learn more about properties of Evaporite i.e. physical and thermal properties. Physical properties of Evaporite include Color, Streak, Hardness, Structure, Cleavage, Fracture, Luster, Specific Gravity etc. The strength of Evaporite is 225.00 N/mm2. Streak of Evaporite is white while its cleavage is perfect. Luster of Evaporite is subvitreous to dull and its fracture is conchoidal. Evaporite is translucent in nature.
