Bronzite and Esperite Physical Properties

Bronzite and Esperite Chemical Formula

While comparing Bronzite and Esperite 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 Bronzite and Esperite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Bronzite- (Mg,Fe) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Esperite- PbCa 3Zn 4(SiO 4) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Bronzite and Esperite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bronzite and Esperite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bronzite and Esperite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bronzite is 4.28-4.42 whereas that of Esperite is 4.28-4.42.
