Andradite and Morion Physical Properties

Andradite and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Andradite and Morion 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 Andradite and Morion chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Andradite- Ca 3Fe 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Andradite and Morion Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Andradite and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Andradite and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Andradite is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
