Inderite and Hypersthene Physical Properties

Inderite and Hypersthene Chemical Formula

While comparing Inderite and Hypersthene 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 Inderite and Hypersthene chemical formula.

Inderite and Hypersthene Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Inderite and Hypersthene Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Inderite and Hypersthene Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Inderite is 3.45-3.55 whereas that of Hypersthene is 3.45-3.55.
