Faustite and Copper Physical Properties

Faustite and Copper Chemical Formula

While comparing Faustite and Copper 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 Faustite and Copper chemical formula.
