Heliotrope and Aegirine Physical Properties

Heliotrope and Aegirine Chemical Formula

While comparing Heliotrope and Aegirine 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 Heliotrope and Aegirine chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Aegirine- (Na,Fe,Ca)Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Heliotrope and Aegirine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Heliotrope and Aegirine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Heliotrope and Aegirine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Heliotrope is 3.50-3.60 whereas that of Aegirine is 3.50-3.60.
