Chlorapatite and Hematite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chlorapatite and Hematite 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 Chlorapatite and Hematite chemical formula.

Chlorapatite and Hematite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chlorapatite and Hematite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chlorapatite and Hematite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chlorapatite is 5.00-5.30 whereas that of Hematite is 5.00-5.30.
