Fluorite and Bronzite Chemical Formula
While comparing Fluorite and Bronzite 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 Fluorite and Bronzite chemical formula.

- Chemical formula of Bronzite- (Mg,Fe) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Fluorite and Bronzite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Fluorite and Bronzite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Fluorite and Bronzite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Fluorite is 3.35 whereas that of Bronzite is 3.35.
