Hauyne and Muscovite Chemical Formula
While comparing Hauyne and Muscovite 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 Hauyne and Muscovite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2
- Chemical formula of Muscovite- KAl 2AlSi 3O 10(OH) 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
Hauyne and Muscovite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hauyne and Muscovite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hauyne and Muscovite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hauyne is 2.78-2.88 whereas that of Muscovite is 2.78-2.88.
