Jacobsite and Bort Physical Properties

Jacobsite and Bort Chemical Formula

While comparing Jacobsite and Bort 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 Jacobsite and Bort chemical formula.

Jacobsite and Bort Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Jacobsite and Bort Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Jacobsite and Bort Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Jacobsite is Not Available whereas that of Bort is Not Available.
