The phase diagram shown in Figure 3 describes the phase content of spinel material like chromite under different conditions of temperature and pressure. The most prominent phases found in chromite are spinel and periclase. Spinel has a hardness value of 7.5–8 in the Mohs scale higher than periclase with a hardness value between 5.5 and 6.
