Coral and Hibschite Physical Properties

Coral and Hibschite Chemical Formula

While comparing Coral and Hibschite 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 Coral and Hibschite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Coral- CaCO 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Hibschite- Ca 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3-x(OH) 4x (x=0.2 to 1.5)Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Coral and Hibschite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Coral and Hibschite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Coral and Hibschite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Coral is 3.05-3.08 whereas that of Hibschite is 3.05-3.08.
