A bstract The physical properties of the serpentinized pyroxenitic and saxonitic rocks from stratiform ultramafic complexes of Roro, Singhbhum distrct, India, are examined using principal factor (R‐mode) analysis technique. The variations and inter‐relations of these properties reflect the compound effects of two processes—(a) degree of serpentinization, and (b) mineralogical and other changes attendant to serpentinization. Factor analysis is thus shown to be an effective tool for petrophysical inferences.
