Hibonite and Copper Chemical Formula
While comparing Hibonite and Copper 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 Hibonite and Copper chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hibonite- (Ca,Ce)(Al,Ti,Mg)12O19
- Chemical formula of Copper- Cu
Hibonite and Copper Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hibonite and Copper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hibonite and Copper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hibonite is Not Available whereas that of Copper is Not Available.
