Hematite and Cryolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hematite and Cryolite 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 Hematite and Cryolite chemical formula.

Hematite and Cryolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hematite and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hematite and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hematite is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
