  • Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2

Moissanite and Hauyne Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Hauyne Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite and Hauyne Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is 2.4-2.5 whereas that of Hauyne is 2.4-2.5.
