Morion and Alexandrite Chemical Formula
While comparing Morion and Alexandrite 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 Morion and Alexandrite chemical formula.

Morion and Alexandrite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Morion and Alexandrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Morion and Alexandrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Morion is 3.69-3.81 whereas that of Alexandrite is 3.69-3.81.
