Learn more about Properties of Pyrolite
What is Pyrolite? In this section, we will learn more about properties of Pyrolite i.e. physical and thermal properties. Physical properties of Pyrolite include Color, Streak, Hardness, Structure, Cleavage, Fracture, Luster, Specific Gravity etc. The strength of Pyrolite is 107.55 N/mm2. Streak of Pyrolite is white while its cleavage is imperfect. Luster of Pyrolite is shiny and its fracture is irregular. Pyrolite is translucent to opaque in nature.
