Magnetite and Selenite Physical Properties

Magnetite and Selenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Magnetite and Selenite 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 Selenite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Magnetite- Fe 3O 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Selenite- CaSO4·2H2O

Magnetite and Selenite Specific Gravity

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