Augite and Magnetite Chemical Formula

While comparing Augite and Magnetite 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 Augite and Magnetite chemical formula.

Augite and Magnetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Augite and Magnetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Augite and Magnetite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Augite is 5.2 whereas that of Magnetite is 5.2.
