Hypersthene and Hydrophane Chemical Formula

While comparing Hypersthene and Hydrophane 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 Hydrophane chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hydrophane- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Hypersthene and Hydrophane Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hypersthene and Hydrophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hypersthene and Hydrophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hypersthene is 1.98-2.50 whereas that of Hydrophane is 1.98-2.50.
