Linarite and Sphene Physical Properties

Linarite and Sphene Chemical Formula

While comparing Linarite and Sphene 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 Linarite and Sphene chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Sphene- CaTiSiO5

Linarite and Sphene Specific Gravity

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