Kyanite and Brucite Physical Properties

Kyanite and Brucite Chemical Formula

While comparing Kyanite and Brucite 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 Kyanite and Brucite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Brucite- Mg(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Kyanite and Brucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kyanite and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kyanite and Brucite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kyanite is 2.39 whereas that of Brucite is 2.39.
