Moldavite and Piemontite Physical Properties

Moldavite and Piemontite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moldavite and Piemontite 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 Piemontite chemical formula.
