Goethite and Chambersite Physical Properties

Goethite and Chambersite Chemical Formula

While comparing Goethite and Chambersite 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 Goethite and Chambersite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Chambersite- Mn 3B 7O 13ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Goethite and Chambersite Specific Gravity

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