Cordierite and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Cordierite 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 Cordierite and Morion chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cordierite- Mg2Al4Si5O18
  • Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Cordierite and Morion Specific Gravity

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