Citrine and Hypersthene Chemical Formula

While comparing Citrine and Hypersthene 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 Citrine and Hypersthene chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Citrine- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Hypersthene- (Fe,Mg) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Citrine and Hypersthene Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Citrine and Hypersthene Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Citrine and Hypersthene Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Citrine is 3.45-3.55 whereas that of Hypersthene is 3.45-3.55.
