Hypersthene and Hauyne Chemical Formula

While comparing Hypersthene and Hauyne 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 Hauyne chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hypersthene- (Fe,Mg) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2

Hypersthene and Hauyne Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hypersthene and Hauyne Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hypersthene and Hauyne Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hypersthene is 2.4-2.5 whereas that of Hauyne is 2.4-2.5.
