Magnetite and Mottramite Physical Properties

Magnetite and Mottramite Chemical Formula

While comparing Magnetite and Mottramite 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 Mottramite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Magnetite- Fe 3O 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Mottramite- PbCu(VO4)(OH)

Magnetite and Mottramite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Magnetite and Mottramite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Magnetite and Mottramite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Magnetite is 5.9 whereas that of Mottramite is 5.9.
