Learn more about Properties of Migmatite
What is Migmatite? In this section, we will learn more about properties of Migmatite i.e. physical and thermal properties. Physical properties of Migmatite include Color, Streak, Hardness, Structure, Cleavage, Fracture, Luster, Specific Gravity etc. The strength of Migmatite is Not Available. Streak of Migmatite is white while its cleavage is poor. Luster of Migmatite is dull to pearly to subvitreous and its fracture is irregular. Migmatite is opaque in nature.
