Hypersthene and Feldspar Chemical Formula
While comparing Hypersthene and Feldspar 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 Hypersthene and Feldspar chemical formula.

Hypersthene and Feldspar Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hypersthene and Feldspar Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hypersthene and Feldspar Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hypersthene is 2.56-2.75 whereas that of Feldspar is 2.56-2.75.
