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

Morion and Humite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Morion and Humite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Morion and Humite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Morion is 3.20-3.32 whereas that of Humite is 3.20-3.32.
