Gibbsite and Celestine Chemical Formula

While comparing Gibbsite and Celestine 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 Celestine chemical formula.

Gibbsite and Celestine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gibbsite and Celestine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gibbsite and Celestine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gibbsite is 3.90-4.00 whereas that of Celestine is 3.90-4.00.
