Fibrolite and Jet Physical Properties

Fibrolite and Jet Chemical Formula

While comparing Fibrolite and Jet 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 Fibrolite and Jet chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Fibrolite- Al 2SiO 5Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Jet- C

Fibrolite and Jet Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Fibrolite and Jet Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Fibrolite and Jet Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Fibrolite is 1.19-1.35 whereas that of Jet is 1.19-1.35.
