Magnetite and Emerald Physical Properties

Magnetite and Emerald Chemical Formula

While comparing Magnetite and Emerald 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 Magnetite and Emerald chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Magnetite- Fe 3O 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Emerald- Be₃Al₂SiO₆

Magnetite and Emerald Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Magnetite and Emerald Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Magnetite and Emerald Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Magnetite is 2.67-2.78 whereas that of Emerald is 2.67-2.78.
