Gaspeite and Musgravite Chemical Formula
While comparing Gaspeite and Musgravite 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 Gaspeite and Musgravite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Gaspeite- (Ni,Mg,Fe++)CO3
- Chemical formula of Musgravite- (Mg,Fe,Zn)Al 6BeO 12Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Gaspeite and Musgravite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gaspeite and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gaspeite and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gaspeite is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
