Amber and Muscovite Chemical Formula

While comparing Amber 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 Amber and Muscovite chemical formula.

Amber and Muscovite Specific Gravity

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