Muscovite and Hydrophane Physical Properties

Muscovite and Hydrophane Chemical Formula

While comparing Muscovite and Hydrophane 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 Muscovite and Hydrophane chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Muscovite- KAl 2AlSi 3O 10(OH) 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
• Chemical formula of Hydrophane- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Muscovite and Hydrophane Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Muscovite and Hydrophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Muscovite and Hydrophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Muscovite is 1.98-2.50 whereas that of Hydrophane is 1.98-2.50.
