Moldavite and Bronzite Physical Properties

Moldavite and Bronzite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moldavite and Bronzite 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 Moldavite and Bronzite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Moldavite- SiO 2(+Al 2O 3)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)
• Chemical formula of Bronzite- (Mg,Fe) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Moldavite and Bronzite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moldavite and Bronzite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moldavite and Bronzite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moldavite is 3.35 whereas that of Bronzite is 3.35.
