Iddingsite and Musgravite Physical Properties

Iddingsite and Musgravite Chemical Formula

While comparing Iddingsite and Musgravite 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 Iddingsite and Musgravite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Iddingsite- MgO.Fe2O3.3SiO2•4(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Musgravite- (Mg,Fe,Zn)Al 6BeO 12Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Iddingsite and Musgravite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Iddingsite and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Iddingsite and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Iddingsite is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
