Aegirine and Muscovite Chemical Formula

While comparing Aegirine and Muscovite 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 Muscovite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Aegirine- (Na,Fe,Ca)Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Muscovite- KAl 2AlSi 3O 10(OH) 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Aegirine and Muscovite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Aegirine and Muscovite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Aegirine and Muscovite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Aegirine is 2.78-2.88 whereas that of Muscovite is 2.78-2.88.
