Moroxite and Selenite Physical Properties

Moroxite and Selenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moroxite and Selenite 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 Moroxite and Selenite chemical formula.

Moroxite and Selenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moroxite and Selenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moroxite and Selenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moroxite is Not Available whereas that of Selenite is Not Available.
