Clinohumite and Musgravite Physical Properties

Clinohumite and Musgravite Chemical Formula

While comparing Clinohumite and Musgravite 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 Clinohumite and Musgravite chemical formula.

Clinohumite and Musgravite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Clinohumite and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Clinohumite and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Clinohumite is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
