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