Hayne and Diopside Chemical Formula
While comparing Hayne and Diopside 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 Hayne and Diopside chemical formula.

Hayne and Diopside Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hayne and Diopside Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hayne and Diopside Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hayne is 3.22-3.40 whereas that of Diopside is 3.22-3.40.
