Microlite and Cryolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Microlite and Cryolite 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 Microlite and Cryolite chemical formula.

Microlite and Cryolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Microlite and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Microlite and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Microlite is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
