Humite and Copper Chemical Formula

While comparing Humite 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 Humite and Copper chemical formula.

Humite and Copper Specific Gravity

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