Hambergite and Cubic Zirconia Chemical Formula
While comparing Hambergite and Cubic Zirconia 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 Hambergite and Cubic Zirconia chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hambergite- Be 2BO 3(OH)Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
- Chemical formula of Cubic Zirconia- ZrO 2 + CaO or Y 2O 3 or MgOUlrich Henn and Claudio C.
Hambergite and Cubic Zirconia Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hambergite and Cubic Zirconia Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hambergite and Cubic Zirconia Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hambergite is 5.50-6.00 whereas that of Cubic Zirconia is 5.50-6.00.
