Bronzite and Norbergite Chemical Formula
While comparing Bronzite and Norbergite 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 Norbergite chemical formula.

Bronzite and Norbergite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bronzite and Norbergite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bronzite and Norbergite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bronzite is 3.177 whereas that of Norbergite is 3.177.
