Aegirine and Lepidocrocite Physical Properties

Aegirine and Lepidocrocite Chemical Formula

While comparing Aegirine and Lepidocrocite physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Aegirine and Lepidocrocite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Aegirine- (Na,Fe,Ca)Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Lepidocrocite- FeO(OH)

Aegirine and Lepidocrocite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Aegirine and Lepidocrocite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Aegirine and Lepidocrocite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Aegirine is 4 whereas that of Lepidocrocite is 4.
