Morion and Triplite Physical Properties

Morion and Triplite Chemical Formula

While comparing Morion and Triplite 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 Triplite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Triplite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg,Ca) 2(PO 4)(F,OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Morion and Triplite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Morion and Triplite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Morion and Triplite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Morion is 3.85-3.94 whereas that of Triplite is 3.85-3.94.
