Gibbsite and Aegirine Chemical Formula

While comparing Gibbsite and Aegirine 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 Gibbsite and Aegirine chemical formula.

Gibbsite and Aegirine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gibbsite and Aegirine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gibbsite and Aegirine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gibbsite is 3.50-3.60 whereas that of Aegirine is 3.50-3.60.
