Magnetite and Glaucophane Chemical Formula
While comparing Magnetite and Glaucophane 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 Glaucophane chemical formula.

Magnetite and Glaucophane Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Magnetite and Glaucophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Magnetite and Glaucophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Magnetite is 3-3.15 whereas that of Glaucophane is 3-3.15.
