Axinite and Uvite Chemical Formula

While comparing Axinite and Uvite 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 Axinite and Uvite chemical formula.

Axinite and Uvite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Axinite and Uvite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Axinite and Uvite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Axinite is 2.97-3.14 whereas that of Uvite is 2.97-3.14.
