The chemical formula of mineral Abhurite is indicated by Sn3O(OH)2Cl2. Abhurite is usually found on ship-wrecked corroded tin ingots. It is usually found at its type of locality at Sharm Abhur, a cove in the Red Sea at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Abhurite is actually named after its type of locality. Abhurite is known to crystallize in the trigonal system of crystal formation. It is usually trapezoidal in form. It has no cleavage found even if it is evaluated closely with the aid of petrographic polarizing light microscopes used in the field of optical mineralogy. Mineral Abhurite is most commonly found colorless.

            The specific gravity of mineral Abhurite usually ranges from 4.29 to 4.34 grams per cubic centimeters. Most crystals of mineral Abhurite are found transparent in appearance. Abhurite is usually found showing a hackly or jagged fracture showing torn surfaces under polarizing microscope used in the field of optical mineralogy. The crystal habits of the mineral as described in the field of optical mineralogy usually include uehedral crystals occuring as well-formed crystals showing good external form. The hardness measure of Abhurite when it is evaluated using the Mohs scale method is usually found 2. Abhurite is most commonly found showing a chatoyant luster when viewed in reflected light of petrographic polarizing light microscopes used in the field of optical mineralogy. Abhurite is most commonly found leaving a white streak when rubbed on a white porcelain streak plate. Abhurite is usually found showing dichroic color white when viewed with the aid of petrographic polarizing microscope used in optical mineralogy. Abhurite is miost commonly found showing a unixial positive figure and 0.0500 birefringence when viewed under polarized microscopes. Abhurite is a non-radioactive mineral.
