Amber and Hypersthene Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Hypersthene 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 Amber and Hypersthene chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Hypersthene- (Fe,Mg) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Amber and Hypersthene Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Hypersthene Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Hypersthene Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.45-3.55 whereas that of Hypersthene is 3.45-3.55.
