Bauxite | Formula, Properties & Application
Bauxite is not a mineral but a rock with minerals in it. It is a clay-like substance which is pinkish, whitish or reddish in color depending on the amount and type of impurities. It is soft and, when struck with a hammer, does not produce a metallic sound. Its specific gravity is generally around 2.6 and it has a Mohs hardness of 1 to 3.
