Chrysotile and Morion Physical Properties

Chrysotile and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Chrysotile and Morion 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 Chrysotile and Morion chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Chrysotile- Mg 3(Si 2O 5)(OH) 4Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
• Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Chrysotile and Morion Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysotile and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysotile and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysotile is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
