Hibschite and Selenite Physical Properties

Hibschite and Selenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hibschite and Selenite 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 Hibschite and Selenite chemical formula.

Hibschite and Selenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hibschite and Selenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hibschite and Selenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hibschite is Not Available whereas that of Selenite is Not Available.
